Does that make it a good sports car? You get used to it and it becomes a dull car...
I'd rather have a car that can be great on the road, but when I get a nice opening or a lonely curvy road - I can have exciting fun with which will end up with my heart rate going up and fun memories/stories.

I think you mean "subjective". Anyway, the proof of the eating is in the lack of pudding ...
In any event, top speed is rather meaningless for an everyday car. I've never come close to the top speed in my Mazda 3 much less my Z. Acceleration -- from 25 to 50 is a good interval to judge for twisty road fun -- and handling are my main concerns.
