Does anyone else get annoyed when their car is called "slow"?

You wonder why your car keeps getting hit.

Last Wednesday at Lime Rock, I swear the Spec Miata drivers doing the hot laps were having TONS more fun than the Lotus driver. The last ride of the day I got, the driver was bouncing almost giddy on the steering wheel impatient to get going again after doing 2-lap hot lap rides for 8 hours.

It says something.
Two really fun cars that arn't particulary fast are a Miata and a Mini.

Drove a Cooper S and a 135i back to back and while the 135i was nice and powerful I had more fun in the Mini.

alright... it's annoying when a crystler PACIFICA wants to race me. I seriously felt insulted. I didn't think our cars were thought to be -that- slow by others...
