that said if you're halfway coordinated you can beat a Holden five litre with a stock one.
especially since most of those cunce have no idea how to stall up the trans.
Is the 'it's slow' meme the most overblown lie by automotive journalists ever?

The ND is faster than a GT86 though.
Michael Clark
It is slow (for a "sports car")
0-62mph (0-1000km/h)
>6.9s
Topspeed
>140mph (226km/h)
Quarter mile
>14.9s @ 93.2mph (150km/h)
For comparison, a CVT Maxima
0-62mph (0-1000km/h)
>6.0s
Topspeed
>132 mph (213km/h)
Quarter mile
>14.5 @ 98.2mph (158km/h)
The 86/BRZ/FRS probably has better track times, but it is ultimately "slower." Doesn't mean it can't be fun to drive, just that speed is its weak point.

It's going to be slow off the line but that's not what it's made for. Using all 200hp on a tight track or a twisty road is still plenty fast enough to get you arrested or killed. The average people that drive these couldn't even get remotely close to the laptimes that professional drivers set so it's pointless to get autistic over laptimes.
I love how everybody here thinks it's too slow for them but they can't even drive a fwd shitbox or a 120whp Subaru without spinning out.

...but that's literally how fast it goes around the track.... The OP is trying to say it's a "buzzword". But it's literally slower than a fucking HHR.
Gavin Jenkins
Well an Escalade is faster than most sports cars by that metric.
Joshua Torres
Around a track? If your car is slower than an escalade around a track then it's slow. I hate to tell you this, but you can like the FR-S AND accept that it is in fact a slow car.
(which measures: braking, handling, acceleration, speed, stability, handling etc).
Carter Richardson
It's also 4 seconds slower than a Corvette on summer performance tyres, on its skinny little Prius tyres, on an eight minute track.
let that sink in a moment.
