Are you a racer or a ricer?

take the test and find out.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9673466886380287705

Here's my score
Racer X
You scored 9%

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.

I scored 11% with the same "Congratulations" - what does the percentage mean?

I got 16%. The intake picture didn't load in my browser and who cares what Nissan calls their variable valve timing...

OK, intentionally trying to get 100% ricer my score was:

Quote:
Uncle Ben

You scored 90%

Depending on how you look at it, you either did awesome, or your worst fears are realized....you are, in fact, a ricer. Your vehicle world consists of large exhaust, large wheels, larger wings, and small engines. Every penny you earn goes into making your stock compact the gnarliest looking creation on god's green earth. The author of the test is of the opinion that you should probably be shot...but what does he know, his spoiler isn't even a foot tall. Congrats you f-edit-king ricer.

27%. I don't know turbos and Japanese SIUBFL-28DX style abbreviation, I think that was biased...

Probably also because I said my car was "sportier" and not a "sports" car. It's just not in the same league as a new Vette.

14%, which must be pretty good, considering I know nothing about Japanese, turbo, or water cooled cars. Also, the picture of that vatchamacallit didn't load.

I don't know jack about Nissan intakes, but I was smart enough to look at the file name of the image in the broken URL

Hmmm, I'm Racer X. I guess I'd better get rid of my pimped-out Jetta GLI.

I am doomed!!!!

Gran Turismorator
You scored 28%
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.
This line is great though:
Either that or you play a *****load of GT3.

13% one picture didn't load.
I cracked up when it talked about the milky substance in the radiator and started making air cooled jokes to myself.

20% for me. That picture wouldn't load and I don't have a clue what and up or down pipe is. Then again, I said WalMart is more familiar to me than Bilstein or the othe names they had.
