Subaru Forester XT? WTF...

I was thinking that too. I think the editors at Top Gear had something wacky slipped in their tea the morning they put this list together. There are so many cars missing from this list.

DeadGeneration

05-09-2007, 02:25 PM

Obviously those are not in any kind of order. And... I would honestly question the validity of this post... what is it based off and SAYS WHO? I can think of a ton of cars not on that list.

evilmonkeyMSP

05-09-2007, 02:27 PM

it says it in the title...its based on what the people at Top gear think...Obviously those are not in any kind of order. And... I would honestly question the validity of this post... what is it based off and SAYS WHO? I can think of a ton of cars not on that list.

DeadGeneration

05-09-2007, 02:34 PM

Top Gear isn't a person though. And maybe they bought too much cocaine recently. What I meant I mostly was what is "Fastest" ... acceleration, top speed, a certain track? Know what I mean? Not every car will place in the same order on different race courses or lengths of tracks and stuff.

Jeph

05-09-2007, 02:41 PM

At first i thought it was off their track list, but those results are totally biased because some of the cars hot lap in the rain, so they are obviously slower.

But come on, a mini cooper s being faster than 5 or 6 ferrari's and a porsche 911 GT1? no way in hell

DeadGeneration

05-09-2007, 02:47 PM

I'm gunna conclude this is a joke/trash/error/lie/late april fools joke

Jeph

05-09-2007, 02:51 PM

Or they are in no particular order...

sierra248

05-09-2007, 02:52 PM

Sentra SE-R should be on that list.

05-09-2007, 02:56 PM

i thought the lotus exige was faster than the lotus elise?

DeadGeneration

05-09-2007, 03:22 PM

msprotege.com is msSLOWtoday.com Anyway. It looks like they ranked them in cars they love to drive that make them feel they are going fast and that its a great machine that they are either afraid or "remind them they are alive". Still though, I dunno. I think my p5 rocks a honda integra if thats how your rating them.

Alejo_NIN

05-09-2007, 03:29 PM

fuck, there are so many cars that shouldnt even be in the top 200

some renaults faster than lotus?

hmm...

this list is so wrong in so many ways!

where's the MAZDASPEED miata or protege?
626 GT?

na. this list is shit

neit_jnf

05-09-2007, 03:36 PM

no mazdas?

Spirit R?

AWDTerror

05-09-2007, 05:44 PM

If you've ever snoozed at 35,000ft before finding God in the back of an airport taxi, you'll understand that speed is relative. No 0-60mph here, nor 0-100-0mph, but just the cars that remind us, in the terrifying thick of it, that we are utterly alive.

from the top gear sight

05-09-2007, 05:53 PM

Where is the 00 Cobra R?

was that supposed to be in any particular order?

Leppy

05-09-2007, 09:20 PM

What, no Nissan 300ZX twin turbo? Come on, they have the Supra in there... and I'm suprised they have the R32 and not the R34...

jred321

05-10-2007, 08:53 AM

Subaru Forester XT? WTF...
isn't that faster than regular wrx's due to gearing?

msprotege.com is msSLOWtoday.com
so then it's named correctly with msprotege.com

They have Mad Max's Crap in there!!! WTF???
haven't you heard the howl? it means it's coming to get you

the point of any list that isn't based on hard numbers (as this list obviously is) is to generate debate, which it's doing so have fun with it and don't take it so seriously :)

SilverBulletES

05-13-2007, 03:40 PM

That was a great post. Any post with that many Porsches in a row is awesome. :D I love how they just do things to piss people off.

Yeah, but should had the 91-94 SE-R on there. I had one, and it was F4ST4R!!!

05-13-2007, 04:30 PM

What about that 787B 4-rotor motor?

Antoine

05-14-2007, 05:36 PM

Top Gear is British for British...Once you realize that...you may avoid a heart attack from the very questionable nature of some of the cars chosen for the list...That said...It's still a decent lineup!

PS...I think the Brits haven't been very fond of Mazdas ever since the Miata came out and redefined what a roadster is all about!
