I said this in a similar thread a couple weeks ago....

If I wanted to be driving something that FELT fast I'd have kept my Jeep Wrangler. 80mph in that thing w/ some crosswinds is SCARY AS HELL.

Compared to that I feel like I'm not moving in my FR-S. Except my FR-S would lap the Jeep on the Nurburgring about 40 times in 10 minutes.

Edit: just to clarify. I'm not bashing your opinion. Just making sure you're looking at "speed" in the right light. You get a very different impression of how fast you are going when your ass is 13 feet above two live axles instead of 13 inches off the asphalt.
