Slow? I wouldn't really say that. I mean they aren't a vette, or a 5.0 mustang. But they are Deff no civic miata or eclipse. I would say more of a real mid life crisis car lol

Here's something people don't quite grasp: Any car can become a ricer. Yes I said any car, including those $100K plus cars. You make what you want of a car. If you want to go ahead and throw on windshield wiper lights, underglow, and an obnoxious USELESS spoiler...it's bound to be rice, if it's not already. On the other hand, if you go ahead and actually pay some mind to detail and work on the car where it counts, then you got yourself a worthy car. The car itself is not, from the beginning, a ricer; the owner is. Think what you want of this.

Hilarious
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.

z33s has a pretty timeless look to it. People who don't know about cars, think it looks amazing. That being said, as long as you are keeping the car close to stock exterior wise, it will always look like a respectable car.
Overall i'd say the Z is a relatively "legit" non ricer car but it's been on the market long enough that you can get older model years for pretty cheap now.
That opens the door up to shall we say....certain "stereotypical groups" that have poor taste in their modifications.
Also, what is considered "rice" varies greatly from person to person

The Z, in general, is not a ricer IMO. Whether it ends up being a ricer, like every other car, depends on the owner's taste in mods. As long as the mod is functional, then it's not rice.

I know this, charger V6 are SLOW. The V8's are not as impressive as some make them out to be. I beat an R/t at a drag track about a month ago. They are too heavy. The SRT8 is quick. The R/T ran a 14.5 and I ran a personal best of 13.97. I don't have a track slip unfortunately, but all I've gathered is chargers suck unless you spend $50g's

not all american cars are heavy and slow, there are a couple that are pretty beast ie. Corvettes, Shelby mustangs, etc. Both of those cars weigh the same as a Z and you can def feel the speed.

Don't listen to idiots like that. When I was getting my Z alot of my friends that have American cars talked alot of smack, until they came with me for drives. Now most of them love my car.
My dad calls me my Z a riceburner because I put on the nismo exhaust, yet he is the one that talked me into getting a Z and he loves driving my car lol.
It's just the nature of the game. There will always be haters.
