I can see those, but the ricer culture cuts across many imports. Doesn't matter what make or model, the punks look and sound the same.
I've heard about similar descriptions (of the ricers) attributed to Mustang drivers. Young punks who know very little about their cars other than they go fast and everyone else drives one. Thats the way it was in the late 80's, early 90's. Everyone at my school in southern Florida wanted an LX 5.0, like it was the best thing out there. Half the guys got them simply because so many others had them. Conformity sucks.
But when I look at Camaro/Firebird gatherings I dont see the same or similar looks from the people driving them. Mustangs and ricers have their punks, the Corvettes have their middle aged men, bikes have their punks, trucks have their rednecks (depending on region), and so on. But with the f-bodies I just dont see that (unless all I would look at is fbody hideout).
