I never said that.
I said less than 7 seconds to 60 is a reasonable benchmark (ideally 6 flat or just over).
If the car cannot get out of it's own way, it's not going to be hit.
The FT-86 is only a theoretical competitor with the Miata, which is a 2-seater roadster. The MRS was a direct competitor for that niche, and in a similar price range, and it is no longer with us.
Toyota's FT-86 is going to be competing with other sporty cars that cost about the same (inlcuding, ironically, the Subaru variant) -- period. That is the market. It will be too expensive for the Scion crowd who will continue to buy coilovers for their hideously ugly, slow toasters.

Please tell me you are kidding.
If not, do everyone in your neck of the woods a favor and stay off the fucking road.
All right, I'm done annoying everyone with my unpopular views
But... I have one more prediction: If the car becomes notorious for being underpowered, 75% of owners will build and turbo it within the first 2 years.
And the other 25% will envy them
