Gran Turismorator
You scored -11%
You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a shitload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.
I don't think I'll ever achieve Racer X status...

Well, ummm, interesting test there. I was scored a non-racer, but not a ricer. According to the test, I knew enough of the mechanical stuff, just not enough of the tuner culture...which is fair, I haven't really thrown my 1993 Chevrolet Beretta into the racer or ricer culture...not worth it. But I do know non-painted body kits look terrible and that octane booster won't make a stock miata faster, so I guess I'm pretty neutral.

Racer X
You scored -25%
Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an *** while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

I second that. Alot of the questions are based on ones opinion.
for example:
Is a turbo timer necessary for a Turbo setup?
A. Yes it is.
B. No it's not.
Turbo timer is nice to have, but not necessary while some people will argue that it IS necessary as a complete setup package.
It's like asking is 18x8 enough for the Z or you must you 18x9..5

The Non-Racer
You scored -4%
One of two things happened if you received this rating. Either you know absolutely nothing about tuner culture and chose "no idea" often. In this case, i guess i could say congratulations, but really you wasted your time taking this test...actually this test is a waste of time for everyone. The second option is a little rarer. You must be someone that knows a lot about either mechanics or racing, but jack about the other subject....or you're just guessing. Either way, congratulations....you're mediocre...but still not a ricer, for which you should be thankful
Thank God

Hmm.. 17%.. Gran Turismorator.. hahahah....
That statement was kinda accurate for me tho... I did play awful lots of GT3... 99% completion with all golds in every license category and 1st fihish in all races with all rare cars.. but still couldn't figure out what 1% is... After 3 month of playing hours and hours, I felt stupid and quit.
