You also need a good Prelude, still. That's another type of fast altogether...
what, slow fast?

Incredible average speeds on longer journeys, without going that fast! Even in the ice or pissing wet, where an S2000 would fall off the road driven like that and an NSX can get scary too.
It's the 4WS & the A8's short gearing, wich means that cruising over 5K gets a bit raucous.
So you drive absolutely everywhere at just over 90, knock it off cruise, whizz round roundabouts, redline it back into 5th & carry on, whilst the tailgating Audi is left in a cloud of smoking understeer.
Also the dog can chill in the back whilst this is going on; he cannot in most cars, especially the NSX...
LJKS also praised the 'Lude because he could hold a Sobranie in his gearchange hand, without stubbing it on the dashboard whilst carrying out such manoeuvres.
