It's not that a G/L cant drag race, its just that it's not the focus of the car.

Also, about the "Rice" word... not meaning to turn it into a debate...

Rice is more like tasteless body mods, minimal performance mods, and driving like a reckless idiot. That said, you can have a G/L with a stock engine. That seems to be the norm in some countries where engine mods are restricted and illiegal.

Carbon is mose definatly not a rice mod. I use it for the aesthetic enhancement, mainly because I can't afford lots of body parts made of it.

Wings and air dams are also not a rice mod. Everything has to remain tasteful or purposeful, if not both. I have a wing off a New Beetle on my car. Is it functional? Probably not, but it looks like it belongs (to me). It dosn't stand out too much, but gets looks.

Let's just get back to the heart of the matter: German Look is about what you want. There's a minimum of rules, and they're flexible. Just make a car you like.
