How do you answer the follow?
 
Today I went to the local autozone to pick up some sandpaper. A girl saw me get out of my BRZ and went into the store before me. I was behind her at the register and she asked me if my car was fast.

I replied "No, it's slow, but it really hooks the road"

Now this isn't the first time I was asked this question and I always answer the same way. What about you guys?

wrxgoose 07-19-2013 06:26 PM

...I say yes.

before though, i'd say "she's not fast, but she's quick" then walk off while they were confused

strat61caster 07-19-2013 06:29 PM

I've been on here too long, I was trying to find the original version of this thread then realized I had better things to do...

I just say it's not that fast but it's fun, either they get or they don't, I'm not going to wait around and explain it to them.

Drftfan 07-19-2013 06:31 PM

I would say fast enough. It is compared to a lot of "iconic" sports cars

Nevermore 07-19-2013 06:33 PM

See, I struggle with this question because the FR-S is the fastest car I've driven. She's fast to me. I have absolutely no experience with higher HP/faster cars. So I want to say yes, but this site has brainwashed me because everyone talks about how slow this car supposedly is, so when I'm asked I just go, "It's quick/agile, probably not as fast as something with a lot more horse power though." I feel it's an honest answer from what I seen here, but personally I don't feel like it's honest because it's not really my answer.

Rayme 07-19-2013 06:35 PM

I say it's not too bad, and usually mentioning it's pretty light and it's RWD is enough to get a "that's interesting" look.

Calavera 07-19-2013 06:37 PM

I always answer that question with its faster than my other car. If they ask what's my other car then I say a Prius!

encity5 07-19-2013 06:39 PM

next time just invite her for a ride, let the car answer it for her.
(better know some good roads closeby the autozone)

if shes fat and ugly, dont do that, car will scrape.

Lol, being ugly will make the car scrape?
Or you cant look right cause shes ugly and you might crash and scrape the car?

Good idea on the invite though

BlaineWasHere 07-19-2013 06:48 PM

"It's fast around corners!"

Mr.Zoolittle 07-19-2013 07:19 PM

slow, plain and simple answer

bkblitzed 07-19-2013 07:24 PM

i saw slow as hell but really fast in the corners.

FRSBRZGT86FAN 07-19-2013 07:24 PM

You could tell the them the car isn't about top speed or 0-60 times, that it was designed with handling being the priority .

Only non-virgin answer in this entire thread.

Tman08 07-19-2013 07:32 PM

Simple answer: "I'd like to show you sometime, just how fast it/she is."

Shim 07-19-2013 07:53 PM

"No, it's really slow. I like to do everything really slow. If you know what I mean. What mean is sex."

Liquidsnake 07-19-2013 07:55 PM

My answer would be "Are you? If so, lets go for a ride caus I like fast cars and faster women!!!!!"

I live my life a quarter mile a quarter mile at a time baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pneub 07-19-2013 07:55 PM

Before my response was "fast enough for me".

Now I say "yea, its really fucking fast" but that's because now it is.

Ammonia 07-19-2013 07:57 PM

"Fastest car in the world, last I checked."

Hardrock4445 07-19-2013 08:14 PM

I once heard a fellow 86 owner say "it's entertainingly fast" so I use that now.

GT86meMR2 07-19-2013 08:24 PM

What i would answer.. Compared to what?
There are alot of faster cars but alot slower cars 2 and what is fast? 0-62mph? or top speed?
when you are used to driving a prius the GT86 is fast when you are used to driving an EVO the GT is slow however when your used to driving a GTR that same EVO is considered slow...

alan.chalkley 07-19-2013 08:31 PM

When i was filling my car up with petrol a random guy came over and asked "what is it like to drive"?.
I replied with "like a big go kart".

D4S 07-19-2013 08:31 PM

Someone asked me about top speed one day and I replied ~144. They said "That bitch looks like it goes 200".
After, they couldn't get why I was laughing so hard.

OICU812 07-19-2013 08:41 PM

If the girl was a looker I would have said "Can ya drive STICK?" :D

K2 07-19-2013 10:08 PM

"Is it fast?"
"Fast enough to get into a lot of trouble."

sprintertrueno86 07-19-2013 10:14 PM

"Is it fast?"

"not really.."

RIPTRD71 07-19-2013 10:17 PM

"Is it fast?"
"I wouldn't know, its a rental with exhaust."

Neekowahhhh 07-19-2013 10:27 PM

"Well you can see for yourself, hop in."

Obja 07-19-2013 10:32 PM

"Fast enough now step away from my super car you peasant"

pmdc 07-19-2013 10:47 PM

My answer is "she goes. Especially around corners."

Mandy 07-19-2013 10:52 PM

"Almost lost my pink to a Prius driver."

VenomRush 07-19-2013 10:53 PM

i usually say, "no, not really but its a really fun car"

Flat Black VW 07-19-2013 11:03 PM

My response to these questions:

"It's wont win a stop light drag race, but around the corners it's a hell of a lot of fun."

marky 07-19-2013 11:10 PM

i get this all the time.... i just tell them "its a drivers car" then i just carry on my way:burnrubber:

people that ask if your car is fast are what i call "basher drivers" all fast in straight line:clap: anyone in a fast car can go fast in the straight away but a well balance car is more fun to drive...

mush 07-19-2013 11:28 PM

i was asked "is it fast?" today by a stranger... i just said "its not fast, but it handles really well"
him "its sweet, ive never seen one before"

LOL:bonk:

Nothing 07-19-2013 11:35 PM

I say "Yeah, it's pretty fast. Nothing too crazy." This let's me be honest and humble at the same time.

Jamesbrz 07-19-2013 11:41 PM

I say not to bad have to have it high revving but handles awesome. I used to own a v8 before and power, there is no comparison but to drive I would choose the brz any day.
