In terms of performance vehicles, the frs is slow; in terms of everything else it fairs decently.

Do you know how to get a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds in an FR-S?
Do a clutch dump at 5500-6000RPMs. Absolutely no one does that on the street, not real world data.

All those 0-60 times for the vans are street start, which if you do the same with the FR-S you get a 0-60 around 8 seconds which is where you see the absolute lack of power and torque show itself.
