Yes, after swapping out the tires, the Fuji Cross comp would be just as fast as many road bikes at that price point. Plus, you could install 700x28 size road tires which do not fit on many road bikes. These will offer a little better ride quality and better protect the rims from bad pavement compared to the 700x23 size tires often put on road bikes.
