MPH Magazine top 10 over-rated sports cars.
I know all of the cars -- they left out:
Bricklyn - brick is right
Lotus Elan (90's US version) - no power
Fiero - hard to believe it means "pride" in Italian
Mustang II - God should have smote Ford for that one
Original Vette (53) and all 70's vettes -- slugs

1. Lamborghini Countach - Fair review.
2. Shelby 427 Cobra - Missed the point of the car. Track record also speaks for itself.
3. Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda - Never seen anyone call this a "sports car" in the first place, nor claim it was good at anything but pretty fast in a straight line.
4. Big-Block Corvette - Uh, dumb. All aluminum 427's were about the same weight as iron small-blocks.
5. BMW 507 - How can such a obscure car be "over-rated"?
6. Lotus Esprit - Kinda fair review. Overpriced underperforming unreliable car.
7. Jaguar E-Type - Don't know enough about them to comment.
8. Ferrari 250 GT - Looks sexy tho.
9. Nissan Skyline GT-R - Uh... it's big and heavy because of all the stuff they wanted to do. With the Skyline's track record calling it "over-rated" is just stupid.
10. Maserati Ghibli - Never have seen one.

The Esprit's bodywork is made from a laminate of silicone glue and Shrinky Dinks, the anemic four-banger gives the acceleration of a K-Car, and the fuel system blurs the line between internal combustion and spontaneous combustion.
It sounds like this guy is just some fat-*** ****tard who doesn't know how to drive ...
