Most people don't. They are just making small talk. Easy to just say 'reasonably fast' and move on.

If someone driving a GT 500 or a Corvette asks you if it fast, say 'not as quick as yours' and move on. I have a feeling that is what they want to hear.

I've only gotten The Question from non-car people. My parents, of course, imagine I am going to hit escape velocity and burn up on re-entry.
