A car that will blow your doors off that does not look like it would.

I other words, cars that look stock on the outside with a seriously modified engine. Like a stock looking Civic wagon with a turbocharged B18C under the hood.

The best example...When 2 tegs roll to the line one a normal looking LS and the other..a GS-R with a driver who gets the attitude that he's "unbeatable". When the light is green...the guy in the GS-R finds out that the little LS had about 250 Wheel HP!! UH OH!

^ know that from personal experience.
BOT like everyone else said its a clean car free of ALL rice and any other thing that would not make it seem like stock. It works best with lower trim cars.

oh yeah, and a "ricer" would be the opposite of a "sleeper"
