Default Doesn't get much slower....

I got to drive a 2002 mustang with the 3.8 V6 at work the other day. All I can say is WTF???? I mean, I wasnt expecting much outta a V6, but damn!!! This was quite possibly the slowest 6-cylinder car ive ever been in! My gf's 2002 grand-am has more ***** with its 2.2 I4. Very disappointing.......

The ultimate slow vehicle that I have driven was a 4 cylinder Toyota Rav4, that thing could not get out of its own way, and forget about pulling out in traffic.

Since we're talking about junk cars, how about my Winter beater... my 1.6L 1996 Geo Tracker. We're talking 95HP / 98 TQ. And thats at the flywheel, not at the rear wheels, LoL.

You know, I had completely forgotten about that LMAO. Wasn't he trying to race a Civic or something for $20? If I recall correctly, he said he had 88 BHP. 88 freaking horsepower at the flywheel!?!? He shouldn't even be legally allowed to call that a Mustang.

Sam, I bet you your beater car could still take an older Toy Rav4. The scariest, slowest, pos I have ever driven.
