-29%

"Racer" and I scored higher than 100% of the people in my age group.

(prob because I'm older than anybody who took the thing so far........)

You can tell that ricers wrote that. The mention things like "cams". No no. Real race cars do it with 1 cam. They never mention superchargers or nitrous because those aren't really ricer-specific.

Anyhow, I scored a -29%. Just another example of how stupid the test is - who scores a negative percentage?

this is what I got:

Racer X
You scored -28%


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.

Some lame questions though.

They should have a specific feedback section so we could all tell them how stupid that test was... Definetly written by a true "ricer"

Gran Turismorator
You scored -19%


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.

...ummmm cool i guess....i dont know alot about turbochargers, but i guess i did ok....

This is what I got:
at 8%

"You are dangerously close to falling to the dark side. Chances are you have a couple things like a Short Ram intake or maybe some lightened pulleys. And you've probably hung around some genuine tuners, so you know the lingo. But most of your money has likely gone into a large erector set wing, or body kit....but at least it's painted. You are a quasi ricer."

At least it's painted

The word "mustang" isn't even used once! Must be a bogus test.

I am apparently a Gran Turismorator. Sounds kind of ricey to me, but I guess it's based on the term GT.

Too bad they didn't sell a windshield decal that read: Gran Turismorator.

I'm guessing that I got this because I'm pretty lazy about doing little things, like changing the oil. That, and my paint and body work cost a hefty chunk of cash and I still have stuff to do in that department (mainly interior and top).
