Volkswagen GTI is i think around 6.5 or low 6's (200hp/3000lbs?)
My Corolla XRS is supposedly around mid/low 7's, can break into the 6's with bolt ons (170hp/2700lbs)

I expect the car to be around 6.5
Don't forget in addition to power/weight ratios, gearing has a substantial effect on acceleration times too.
