Oddly enough a lot of heads on this site claim the swoosh is riced out

Not sure how a forum full of import cars with 10 inch wings and coffee can exhaust tips are claiming a swoosh is riced out, but what ever

LOL Since joining this site, I always wandered where the "running your bov VTA is rice" came from? Define rice, as I said in another thread, i thought ricing a car had more to do with making your car appear faster ie bov on a na car, fake spinners, apr wing on a buick...how is allowing the sound from a part on your car to make a noise rice... Its more like an option, either you want to hear the swoosh or you dont. Also not quite sure it seems it became rice when the SRT4 came out...therefore i feel theres some hater -aid being passed along...Im all for the swoosh

When ever Im somewhere and i hear a car drive by with the swoosh i smile and get a chubby...lol Secretly i think alot of non swoosh fan boys are in the closet about wanting to VTA....
