You can have a sportscar and not track it and have fun. You can keep under the speedlimits and take corners quicker, get to speed faster and have more fun in a well-balanced sportcar than a economy car, all under the speed limits. There are also the occasions where you can enjoy some safe spirited driving on the roads disregarding limits, and being in a sportscar would be better than a van or something (safety and performance-wise).
That doesn't stop people from buying sportscars and not driving them hard...and if you're willing to break speedlimits in a sports car, you're probably willing to break them to the point where a spoiler would help.

What other purpose is a wing for, other than downforce? Looks. That is the definition of Rice. NSX-R wanted an opinion: Race or Rice. I stated if it is for track-use, it's functional and therefore race. On the street where downforce is not needed to the same extent, installing such a wing is useless, therefore Rice.
If an e36 M3 rolled down the street with a wing like that on, I'd consider it Rice.
You have a different definition for rice than I do, then...an E36 M3 is capable of reaching speeds where a spoiler would help, and its drive wheels are located underneath the wing, therefore a wing isn't a pointless add-on, even if you don't "use it" all the time, and it isn't rice.
If NSX-R believed that adding a spoiler would magically make his car faster, even though it really wouldn't (other than, of course, improved rear grip at higher speeds)...
that's rice.
Now, if the car doesn't really need a spoiler, the driver doesn't think it makes the car faster, and the driver isn't planning on driving at the speeds where a spoiler is effective, the labelling of "rice" or "not rice" comes down to personal opinion, really, and it depends on what different people think looks "good."
For example, a friend of mine with a B13 Sentra SE-R is considering buying an E30-M3-lookalike spoiler, not because he needs it, and not because it would make the car faster or better, but because he thinks it looks cool (and I agree).
Show cars (extremely modified trailer queens that are judged at major tuner shows) aren't ricers either, as far as I'm concerned. Sure, they look like they're "supposed" to go fast, but they often can't go fast, and aren't even driven at all...but many of the people who own them won't try to pretend like their car is the fastest thing on wheels.
So, go ahead and call my friend's Sentra rice if you want, or the show cars, or NSX-R's spoiler (if he chooses to buy it), but to me, rice has just as much to do with the attitude behind the modifications, as the modifications themselves.

He wantd a straight-up opinion, and I gave one. I don't see the need for any kind of argument or discussion.
Why join a forum, or post on it, if you don't want to discuss things? Or am I not allowed to disagree with you...?
