I was half joking when I said slower than a minivan, and was trying to stir the pot a bit. My FRS would pull on the typical minivan from a stoplight only at full throttle, and I was not trying to race people. In terms of power to weight ratio a newer Honda J35 powered SUV like the MDX is actually quite close to the FRS, but it builds the power earlier in the rev range so it will actually outrun the FRS from a stop until the speed gets higher.

When I bought the FRS, I decided it was fast enough for me and had accepted the fact that it would not decisively beat a minivan or SUV from a stop. The question is, have you?
