imho, how fast does one need to be? It's fun. People who call this car slow are thinking in drag racing terms. The FRS is made for cornering hard, which is more fun to me anyway.

If you get bored with the straight line speed of this car, the aftermarket will provide options if it hasn't already. The engine bay is large and can handle some serious hardware lol

"Is it fast?"

"Sorry, the police have instructed me not to answer that question any more."

Maybe the appropriate answer is "Kinda"

Ive given rides to a lot of non-car people and everyone seems to think its fast even after being in the car. Feels slow to me because I came from a faster car, but its faster than most grocery getters, Im sure.

For people I don't know and will never see again (stopped at a traffic light, passing by in the parking lot, etc.) I tell them, "Does it look fast to you?"

Nice, you just gave me a reply to "is it fast?".
"It'll do 170mph on the dyno"
