My response to these questions:

i get this all the time.... i just tell them "its a drivers car" then i just carry on my way

people that ask if your car is fast are what i call "basher drivers" all fast in straight line anyone in a fast car can go fast in the straight away but a well balance car is more fun to drive...

I say "Yeah, it's pretty fast. Nothing too crazy." This let's me be honest and humble at the same time.

I say not to bad have to have it high revving but handles awesome. I used to own a v8 before and power, there is no comparison but to drive I would choose the brz any day.

"Depends on what you consider fast"

Theres all kinds of fast, theres fast rally cars that lose in the 1/4mile, theres fast drag cars that are slow on the track, theres fast drift cars that turn slow, it all depends on definition.
