Fast or Quick

danegrey · 07-24-2021, 08:20 AM

Quick, and fun to drive.... fast depends on your definition of fast....
the VQ engine, is great, has plenty of toque, which makes it fun to drive....

It's more fun to go fast in a slow car, then to go slow in a fast car. Old track saying.

Agreed! Go drive a Mazda Miata, it is the most fun you can have. If you have driving roads near you there won't be any cars that can keep up and you won't have to worry to much about breaking the law.

YES!!! Took a Miata RF for a test drive. Top down incredible, like almost better than riding a motorcycle incredible!!!

0-60 around 5 seconds is the sweet spot. Slower and it is too slow lol. Faster, and it's over too quick. In other areas of life, being over too quick is NOT a good thing...

I've owned two NA and one NB Miata. They weren't quick off the line, but they were a lot of fun to throw around due to their low weight. In that case, it was fun > fast. Now, the Z-R, even with the AT, brings the fun and fast together into a nice package. Fun + fast = fantastic!

Honestly, anything faster than the Z would be detrimental to my driving record.

I know this is something one of my best friends tells me all the time - especially when I talk about trading in the Z for something else and the only basis for doing so is…..’well, it’s faster’ haha.

I’m one of those types of people that I am always looking for the next best thing and then when I do trade it in for that ride - I always have a sense of regret. And in the back of my head - I know I will regret trading in the Z - especially now that they no longer make them; as well as I don’t see very many Z’s and in particular the Nismo where I live. Sooo….guess I’ll be keeping the Z and maybe try to save and find a nice 2nd car that doesn’t break the bank.

Depends what you define as fast honestly. To some a 10.8 is slow whereas a conservative 13.1 may be too much (1/4) lol. There is ALWAYS something faster, just make sure you get something that will satisfy your driving needs. Personally I look at is it quick being barebones stock because with enough money anything can be fast
