The Non-Racer
You scored 41%
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

I got the same thing, but 59%. I don't think this quiz lends itself well to audi owners. I mean, it's asking about adding turbos--I already got one :) And "luxury sport sedan" wasn't on the list of "what is your car" and I hate to mark down that I'm in the same category as an Accord.
But I'm not a ricer, so I guess the quiz was functional in that respect. But I could have told you that--my A4 is what all those ricers aspire to be, they just don't know how to do it and still have a car that they aren't embarassed to drive up to a valet in.

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 ****load 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 know if I should be scared or honored that I got a low %. It was a good waste of 5 minutes though.

i think drifting takes skills but its not that great in a race, sliding slows u down its better to take the turns in a regular way, u dont see la mans drifting. drifting is a showy style of driving
Drift vs Grip and i say grip wins

The point of driting is not to cross the finish line first. it's to drift your car in a controlled manner as fast as you can at the hardest angle you can through a track.
God i love need for speed

Duh its not meant to be fast... its like figure skatin points are rewarded for style the way the car sets up for corners the way the car exits the corners speed angle closeness to the wall ect... point are given by judges...
BTW Racer X ... I think driftin is a fad but it could be a sport if it stays popular...

The problem with drifting is that the scoring is subjective. Usually the most well known driver/drifter wins. Couple of weeks ago I was watching a drifting competition on Speed TV, the winner wreaked his car and didn't finish. How can you get 1st place if you don't finish the race?

Rice this-
Racer X
You scored 17%
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 ass 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.

Drifting is bull ****. Go get in a 5000 pound station wagon with about 375 rear wheel hp and race in the rain, thats a out of control situation. I know, That was my first car. just killed me on gas. But what pisses me off the most is that drifting came from Europe and moon shine runners in the south not JAPAN

Flyboy what do station wagons have to do with drifting?...

Not to much but it sure scared the hell out of me when it happend, I just know from driving friends cars (honda) that if you really want out of the slide or drift, those cars are rather forgiving. that and the fact that I wrote that at like 3 in the morning.

First you start out with a friend that can get you a state inspection stiker. Then I took the stock 307 cid motor out and basicly put all new parts in it, you know, cam, heads, intake, better carb, cold air (witch in this case involved cuting the hood to as a cowl scoop), you know all the same basic stuff that all motor respond to, just finding them for that car was a trick. After you have that kind of motor, It doesn't really matter what you put it in, It will probably move pretty good. and to tell you the truth, it was the amount of tourqe that it made that made it really run.
