Very true, but sucks to say it. If the car came with a turbo it might have held better value.

The English language easily contains double, triple, or quadruple the words than other languages. With all these extra resources at their disposal, you might think specialists could easily come up with scholarly answers to any inquiry. However, all the additional synonyms, equivalents and overlapping nuances, create many unintended subtexts. This sometimes makes it difficult for experts to reach a clear consensus on a simple yes or no answer to some inquires.

Luckily there are many easy test phrases that we can apply to instantly answer these questions for ourselves. For example I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “If you have to ask”, as in ‘if you have to ask the price, you probably can’t afford it’. Or, ‘if you have to ask who is the sucker at the poker table, it’s probably you'. ‘If you have to ask if you’re in love…..you’re not’.

If you apply any of the hundreds of variations of this simple idiom, I’m sure you can up with your own conclusion to this issue.

This is from urban dictionary.

- 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.

lol who cares what some guy thinks about a car, its his opinion and i wouldn't give someone the pleasure of making me upset over a dumb comment. i don't think the z going down in price has anything to do with a car potentially becoming rice. ive seen brand new riced out ferraris, lambo's, mercedes. bmw's ect.

This topic has been discussed here in depth before. I think the conclusion was that since the Z is a V6, it is not a ricer.

So go run and tell your guy ()

Sorry been out of town, haven't gotten to take pics yet. And it's not him in particular that bothers me... In fact it doesn't bother me at all really cause I like my car. Just wondered what other people's inputs were on this. My car is nine stock, with invidia Gemini exhaust, berk test pipes, strup headers, motordyne 5/16 ISo thermal plenum spacer, aem CAI, and a COBB tuner. It's redline color and an 03 touring model.

that guy (not a friend, just a tool from the gym) drives a V6 charger.... explains everything. i need to clean up the inside of my car, and i have plans to either get a new driver seat or get the leather re-finished. i kinda have a hook-up at an accessory shop so he said he could redo the steering wheel and driver seat for pretty cheap. everything else besides my wheels and hatch (little bit of hail damage) will remain stock. i don't want to invest tons of money in it because it is my DD and it does get normal wear and tear on it. its nothing special, but its mine and paid for . sorry for the delay on the pics

btw this forum has been really helpful with some problems ive ran into. Window motor, knock sensor, advice on what mods are good to buy. besides the normal flaming someone can get, the guys on here are pretty cool. ill try not to ask dumb questions, and i know this post has probably been played out a hundred times but just wondered opinions and inputs.
