i guess that depends on whether or not you consider an ms3 or wrx a performance car. it's all relative, i suppose.

i know with 220ish whp my fr-s wasn't very fast. v6 minivan fast, but not sports car fast. now with 260 (mustang dyno) whp, it's starting to pick up a bit. it's at least entertaining on our boring florida roads now.

ymmv. if i lived back home in the mountains i'd probably be happier with less power. down here on 'the grid', power is your only available form of entertainment when daily driving.
