The reason why people like the so called "ricers" is because if tuned and modded right, you can go way faster than muscle cars.
lol sorry not to get off topic, but if you really think that then your on crack. maby on a VERY long track or in corners, but off the line in a drag...not a chance in hell. a suped up muscle car will smoke just about anything out there in a straight up drag. nothing can push the same torque.
the reason "ricers" are so popular is because they are inexpensive to buy, and much like R/C, its the modding them that makes it fun. Muscle cars arent very "hop-up" friendly. with a ricer, the owner is able to customize their car in many different areas.
