Same idea here. Have got the question a number of times. I just say "Not _too_ fast, but fun. Yep, it's _really_ fun." Truth in advertising, and everybody walks away happy.

I love the red one and bought my BRZ that way. Turns out to be a rare choice -- I have only seen a single other red one in the wild (plus one at a dealer) since the car was introduced last year.
