The reality here is that "Fun" is relative and subjective and so is "fast" when discussed in relation to your own preferences.
From purely objective performance stand point there is no way to avoid the numbers because that is the typical yardstick. The numbers are what they are and when different cars are compared on numbers then a hierarchy of those performance numbers would tier the cars pretty consistently.
As auto enthusiasts, and in most cases when it comes to cars, people are only looking at the objective numbers as a starting reference point. Auto ownership is very personal and consists of so many personal preference factors that no single car will ever meet everyone's needs. It is because of this that we have so many comparison threads on every auto forum.
When I look into cars I want to own the question I ask myself is only this: "are you going to be happy with most aspects of this car?" while keeping in mind that "You cannot have it all even when money is no object."
All that being said already I do feel the twins are not "fast" enough for my personal preference at the present. Like many others I do like the feel of torque off the line and the push into the seat as you accelerate. I do not speed much but I do like to reach the speed quickly. I also want sharp and consistent handling and I do not prefer a heavy feel to the car. The twins already meet 2 of 3 of my top preferences. I am waiting on the power end of it. All this is also contingent on not having to modify the car with power adders as my personal experience with aftermarket has been more negative than positive.
