If the miata does end up weighing 2200 lbs it would only need 155 hp to be relatively equivalent to the FRS at 0.0704545455 i around 7 hp per every 100 lbs.
So anything essentially greater than 155 hp to that 2200 lb prediction will surpass the FR-S

Not to split hairs, but it'd basically need 160 to match and above 160 to surpass. That's the beauty of an estimated 2200 lb. curb weight (not to mention handling and fuel economy benefits).
Edit: Also more noticeable to typical drivers, with a 2.0L DI engine, it should beat the torque-to-weight ratio of the Twins, so the low-midrange will feel peppier.
