I say the GT is a poser car from the kind of people who buy them - to a person every owner I have talked to was more interested in how many people watch him then how the car runs. For sure they are fast - I'm not disputing that.
Implication is one was serious and therefore the the other not.

With respect to "Poser" status I would tend to agree with you. However, the agruement can be made that 90% of people who bring cars to car shows are "posers" since that is exactly what why they attend... to show off their cars. Some car show attendee's know more about their cars and some know less (I'll admit to this category). Some could car less about how they and their car looks (I am in this category) and some it is all they car about, regardless of the car they bring.

Just a thought.
