"Fast enough to be fun, but not so much so that it gets me in trouble with the law all the time."

whenever people asks me, i say "it's super slow!" and it's actually true. slower than my camry V6 lol

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.

At least people are coming up and complimenting my car, I guess...that hasn't really happened before, and I've had plenty of cars...slow and fast.

Am I the only one that finds the username relevant and self-fulfilling in this scenario?

Is lbs / hp more important or lbs / tq in your opinion.

"Fast enough"

Mikengrace · 08-13-2014, 06:40 PM

I also own a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport. That is a fast car. But, I have more fun and can often drive faster easier in my 2014 FRS. You can reach the FRS's potential far easier and safer, at least on the street, then you can the Corvette. If you are using all the Corvette has to offer, on the street, you are not going to be around very long. They are great cars, impressive in their potential. But, speed is relative. There are many places I can drive faster in my FRS, even though the Corvette is a much faster car.

Well now, like we used to say in the old Army, "that depends on the situation".

If I'm sitting on a flat, straight road/street ..... and a mustang or camaro driver pulls up and asks "is that car fast"? ....... I say ...... no ..

However, if I'm up on Mt Rainier, about to head down the 14,000 ft high mountain, and a mustang or camaro driver asks me "is that car fast"? ....... I say ..... YES! ...

I like this answer.

Demandred7 · 08-13-2014, 08:35 PM

I say that I've never had as much fun in any other car, but, it is no stoplight warrior.

In all honesty, I've driven faster, but, I'm pretty sure that I haven't owned faster.

Low 14 seconds for an affordable naturally aspirated Sedan is impressive......

Why is it so hard for people to say a Camry is fast? LOL

Because a Camry's exterior is a sleeping pill on wheels? Then again it's a better looking old guy car than a Honda Accord sedan.
