Actually, I don't think twins are slow at all. It's light enough and the engine is quite peppy. Coming from a WRX or a Cayman, or a Z, this car might seem slow. But it's perfectly adept at getting me up to highway speeds and passing a car or truck. I feel like everyone is obsessed with more and more power. My car before this was an 08 Impreza and that has 170hp, plenty enough to get me in trouble and keep up with other cars. It served me well at autox events. I don't race on the streets so there's no pissing match between me and every other car.

Everyone talks about being passed by a minivan, but if you're doing 65mph and the minivan is doing 70mph, then guess what... You're gonna get passed by a minivan. Same in any car. If you feel too proud of being passed by a minivan, drop a gear and hit the gas.
