BRZ has a faster 0-60 than every minivan on the road.
And it weighs half, so it will smoke any minivan in the turns, as well.
So, let's please dispense with this minivan nonsense already!
Minivans are not fast. Because data ! |

I'll grant that the BRZ is faster than a Minivan, but the way car magazines test 'fastest' acceleration is they wind the engine up to 5000rpm and drop the clutch. I can't find the exact quote but this is how the BRZ can get 6.2s 0-60. If you accelerate briskly from a stop like rev 2000 and slip the clutch you won't be getting no 6.2s on a BRZ however with a minivan you might just get very close to the advertised acceleration.
