When Ricers Attack
I was strolling home from a visit at Function:TUNED scoping out the details of my 95% completed project 350, when suddenly my Rice Radar went off the chain. Spotted in the distance was a modded Silver 350z, lowered (wasn't sure on his handling specs) with a bling-bling rear bumper and some bling-bling deep-dish rims. I was in my beater Impreza 2.5 RS - which is conveniently equipped with every single possible suspension mod known to man, 12.9lbs SSR rims, and the best-of-the-best all season rubber money can buy with the alignment tweaked for super hardcore MAX grip! On that note, it's time for some Z hunting that does not involve driving in a straight line!
Like a ricer, I tailgate like hell since I'm the biggest instigator in the universe when it comes to all things that can remotely handle. As I got closer and closer to this car, I realized, "Haha! I know this guy! Let's hope he doesn't know who I am." He spotted me approaching quickly from the rear and decided to turn onto a road with some curves. Now let the action begin! I'll let the video explain the rest of the story:

He told me he almost wiped out midway through the 90 degree turn. I checked out his tire choice - summer tires, which could explain why the rear skidded out of place. It's 19 degrees outside and summer tires don't enjoy being pushed very much in those weather conditions. If you look carefully at 0.27 secs in the video, you'll see the car lost a bit of control and regained it at 0.28 once the road straightened out. Luckily I have AWD and utilized a different driving line so @ full throttle this wasn't an issue.
If you own a modded 350z and if some ricer in a 2.5RS charges up from behind and tailgates the crap out of you when you're near a twisty road, it's probably me chasing you with my almighty 110awhp... filming!!... so make sure to GUN IT!!!
Ricer for Life. Until next Time...
