Yes and no. It takes a lot longer to get a BRZ up to speed, but with a few suspension tweaks it's still a pretty fast car through the corners. I'm definitely between 60 and 85mph on most mountain roads if I'm pushing it hard. Twisty highway, mind you-- not super-tight canyons.

You need something REALLY slow / down on grip to make an effective "fun at legal speeds" car. As in, full vintage car status-- horrible (but fun!) suspension, no power, bad brakes, bicycle tyres, etc
