The only minivans that have a 7 second 0 to 60 (WITH a launch) are the very rare special versions (i.e the SXT. They consist of about 5% of the total made so are meaningless.
The 0 to 60 time for a MT FRS is 6.2 not 7.6.
I love how people distort the 0 to 60 times by taking the rare versions and applying them to everything.
The Twins are firmly in the lower spectrum of the "fast" cars and minivans are in the upper end of the "slow cars" but since they don't have a 3.2 0 to 60 then everything must be faster!

Film yourself doing 0-60 in 6.2 without launching on a stock 86/brz/frs. You won’t even get in the 6s.
You think auto minivans can rev to 5K+ and dump the clutch? They can rev to torque converter lock up usually in the low to mid 2ks and “launch” from there. not nearly the same difference.
This forum is riddled with 0-60 times illustrating without launching this is mid to high 7s 0-60. YouTube is full of 0-60s without launching as well showing this.
Everyone says this car is slower then your moms minivans. Obviously is partly exaggerated to make a statement that this car is slow. But i still provided examples of minivans as fast or faster if 86/brz/frs doesn’t launch. And tons of minivans do 8-8.2s which are probably equally as fast 0-40.
Add in crossover suvs. List gets a lot bigger
