I wonder if the ricers realize that when they spend $200 on an intake tube, I can accomplish the same thing for $20 at auto-zone and buy a new air cleaner.... These dopes pay $300+ for a single header on the cheap end. You can get some rather nice headers (i.e. 2 of them) for about anything domestic for that price. I suppose they just dont know any better. And then the "cat-back" system- I just had 2 aned a quarter inch duals run for what some pay for the fart pipes! These kids need to pick up a Jeggs magizine and get a clue.

However, here are a few cars that are available with AWD:
Lamborghini Diablo
Lamborghini Murcielago
Porsche 911 Turbo
Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Audi S4
Audi S6
Audi S8
BMW 3-series
There are quite a few others, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Back in the 80s, Audi raced a basically stock 4-door sedan in the IMSA series (the model escapes me), and it took no prisoners. I saw it run twice at the Grand Prix du Mardi Gras.
Oh, and while I heartily agree that "there's no replacement for displacment," the Sierra Cosworth RS500 and RS200 both ran a 500bhp Cosworth YB 2.0 liter engine (16 valves, 25+ psi boost). There is a guy that owns one up in the Northeast (has it in a mid-80s Merkur XR4Ti), IIRC, and last I heard, he was spanking Z06s, Cobra Rs and anything else that happened to catch him on a bad day. Admittedly, the torque ratings aren't that great, but pretty much after 1st gear, SEE YA!

I personally think it is the greatest feeling in the world to pull up next to a ricer with my 40" ground hawgs as big as their cars and a 460 running straight pipes....when they turn up their stereos i hammer down to about 3800 and they have to close their ears
Although i do admit I have 2 solobarics with 1100 watts pushing them and that will shut'em up too! Then it really gets interesting when I pull away from the light being able to chirp the tires (with the rear end welded, mind you) in every gear....

that truck would embarrass mine at the lightsI go through 200-300$/month in gas in my f-150 302/ (275/75/15 ) tires /automatic.
Wonder how much gas I'd go through in your truck (200$=light foot, 300$ = heavy foot lol)

I just hit a deer with my 97 crownvic X police, so lately i've had to drive around the wife's 95 jetta, god I hate that thing theres no room and even weighing in at over 5000, with an auto tranny and a small 4.6 the vic is twice the car. I went to work and told them i hit a deer and this younger guy said the jetta was a great car and he would want to drive it over the vic. Freaking crazy.
Back on the subject I don't like ricers, mostly because i'm too big to fit comfortably in them, I can apreciate the work that goes into them though, some of the good ones have great attention to detail, and interior ideas that would be nice to see in some older muscle cars.

In high school I drove a 2wd 91 GMC extended cab with a TIRED 350 with 275k miles. One kid was braggin about his 4 banger Mazda and offered to run him on the black top. He accepted and I whopped him by about 4 car lengths in the quarter. after about two miles he caught back up since a pick up pushes so much air. since then I haven't seen him in his rice grinder.
