At least one car mag got a 2011 tC to 60 in the mid 6's if I recall correctly. That's a weaker car with several hundred more pounds on it.

The best 0-60 times on a RSX-S have been low 6's too, as well as some of the later Civic Si's, both again being heavier cars with nearly identical power.

With that said, if the BRZ/FR-S can't do it any faster than 6.5, then it is a piece of shit engine/transmission. It "has" to be at least as fast as the Civic/RSX.
