Is your car fast? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Normally I get, is it as fun as it looks, which I answer yes to. But when people ask me is it fast I just say yes and move on. My general view is anything under 7 secs 0-60 is fast. Although there are different report I see 6.2 for Mt more often.

If I end up with a turbo, I'm still going to tell people its slow. And tell them its stock too

soundman98 · 10-07-2013, 12:20 AM

it's faster than walking.

I get asked it all of the time. My response, "It is not fast, but it is quick."

"insert dirty joke here"

Off topic, lady at the gas station thought it was some new GTR. I laughed and said to her I had not heard that one yet. Picking ladies up at the gas station. Classy

"It's pretty quick - carves through corners real quick."

Honestly - drive it like you stole it, you can maintain momentum through corners and have higher corner exit speeds than some more powerful cars - so you end up quicker/higher speed down the straights. And then the light weight allows later braking and again higher cornering speeds, so as long as you learn to preserve that momentum, the car has some guts. Just keep the engine on boil...

It's not how fast it is it's how you use it... a thank you

shiumai · 10-07-2013, 12:34 AM

sometimes i wonder if the people asking know about it already, and are just wondering what my answer is going to be, or are sincerely curious.

BlueDubbinTDI · 10-07-2013, 12:36 AM

Its my second fastest car, behind my 304whp mk4 Jetta. Ok lets just say way behind that car lol. But yeah I just say it drives as well as cars ten times its price...and technically I'm not too far off.

hotpanda1 · 10-07-2013, 12:39 AM

mike the snake · 10-07-2013, 12:41 AM

Mine's going to be fast in a couple weeks when I get my turbo kit and methanol injection. Should end up faster than my old BMW 135i.

It's not the size of of the horsepower that counts, but the motion during cornering.

Kostamojen · 10-07-2013, 02:11 AM

I just say yes.

Gaiakai · 10-07-2013, 02:16 AM

What I've found personally is that when I say "No." and smile, they take it as a "yes" anyway

1slowbrz · 10-07-2013, 02:19 AM

I got sick of being asked,so I put a turbo kit on it. I still say no.
