Also, as point of reference, the 0-60's claimed for their last two "sporty" or sports cars (Cleica, MRS, respectively) were around 7 seconds flat, give or take a few 10ths. Those models are 10 years old (and no longer in production) so hopefully Toyota will strive to do a little better with their new sports car, at least in an upgraded model.
6.5 sec to 60, for example, would not exactly be blistering fast, but it will attract the attention of more boy racers than something at 7 or higher.
It's not ALL about straight line aceleration, but it is ALSO about straight line aceleration.
With that in mind, the MR2 Spyder was consistiently faster than the Miata, and yet, did not capture the hearts and minds of drivers the same way (hence it being discontineud).
I don't know that the FT-86, a 2+2 coupe, will steal the Miata market, so it will have to woo a different one. That one may have to be convinced that they don't really want a Mustang.
