were hotrods the riceboxes of their time?

You mean rice burners? No, that was a derogatory term for what began as a relatively questionable and inferior product.

>>17067237
No, they were actually fast. Civics and Toyobarus are slower than Minivans.

A stock Model A ran 23s 1/4 mile at 55mph and took an additional 6 seconds to hit 60mph. Do you understand context?

>>17067334
dont care

dont try to act like they are fast

if I use that logic it works out in favor of Civics and shit too

>stock 20+ year old Civic runs 17s
>less than $2000 in mods

Mate back in those days all you had were flatheads, it's relative.
That said Chrysler's flathead straight 8 has more horsepower than Buick's OHV straight 8.
