You scored -10%


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. Either that or you play a shitload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

You scored -24% whatever that means... The only one I think I got wrong was the Nissan Variable valve timing one...

Racer X
You scored -26%

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 wish the test would give me the correct answers (or at least tell me what it thinks the correct answers are).

Dies that mean I'm 16% Racer or 16% Ricer. (JC don;t answer that.)

You are dangerously close to falling to the dark side. Chances are you have a couple things like a Short Ram intake or maybe some lightened pulleys. Snd you've probably hung around some genuine tuners, so you know the lingo. But most of you money has likely gone into a large erector set wing, or body kit....but at least it's painted. You are a quasi ricer.

I wish the test would give me the correct answers (or at least tell me what it thinks the correct answers are).
That's exactly my score. I think I lost points by saying "I hate that movie", when there was a better answer.
