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

That being said, just going to Skip Barber shows their love and general preference for Mazdas 
Not that they don't use other cars, but the RX-8 and the MX-5 show up time and time again there, even though each is considered 'slow' and 'underpowered' within their classes by the rest of the world.
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.

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.
