Default The Ten Worst Poser Cars

i really hated seeing the crossfire make the list. :[

The Ten Worst Poser Cars

Keep in mind that when they are saying "poser" they are NOT referring to the driver
rather the car posing to be fast.

Then again i don't know how seriously this can be taken seeing as how there are no
V6 Wackstangs.

I think the bigger fail is that Jalopnik titles the article "Ten worst poser cars" then proceeds to list photos of eleven cars.

The Crossfire isn't the fastest car out there by any stretch. But I'd rather drive a slow car than be a grown man that can't count.

The basics, man... the basics.

If you can't even count to ten properly, chances are you don't have the brains to operate a car at any speed over that.

Let them hate. I'll keep driving my head-turning bargain as much as possible.

I really don't care what some squirrel-brained retard thinks about my choice of cars. I like them...my wife likes them...my son likes his...that's all that counts. I am sure that back in 1929 there were those that thought Duesenburg's were POS and it was a real pita to have to design and order your own coach body. Opinions are like a$$holes -- everyone has one and they all stink.

Agreed. I would have been happy with starting from the same base HP as the C320...

Bigger injectors, slightly more aggressive tuning, and an airbox with openings bigger than straws would be a nice place to start.

Yea, and every time I get gas, I get stares, questions and compliments.

I'll go with public opinion on this one.

Its funny i have owned two cars on the list. The celica GT-S is by no means a poser or slouch. 180 hp at 2500 lbs isnt bad. Not to mention it was one of the first 6 speed sport COMPACTS ( and cheapest at the time). The action package is overkill though. The 2zz engine which is in the GT-S is also in lotus elise.

She may be driving a slow Yellow one, but she is considerably more attractive and appealing than Celine Deon.

Great voice! Although this is definitely the better vid of her (NSFW):

Always had a thing for Russian women, even if they do show up in the back of Popular Mechanics advertisements.

I have 2 out of the 10, Crossfire and 82 Firebird/TA I must say I agree with the 2nd, my 82 can't get out of it's own way but looks good.

I had the'82 Just as pictured black TA with T Tops. Like my Crossie, it got more looks than anything else i ever owned. Unlike the Crossie under the pretty skin it was a POS.

Question, how come the Pontiac and Saturn roadsters didn't make the list? Sexy as hellbodies, they can't pull their own weight to 60 with a good tail wind.

proof positive that self appointed experts are usualy full of crap.
