I learned something today. I had to look up hard-parker, but now I know what it means. I have aero on my viper, but rarely track it. I also looked up ricer to make sure I knew what it actually meant…
A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term “rice”) to make it (mostly make it look) faster.
I think Dodge Vipers go pretty fast right off the showroom floor…not sure it fits this category.
Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX’s and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
I don’t think adding aero parts to a viper makes it a ricer…IMHO.
