I'll bank on 12.65 for the FR-S at 285whp/225wtq, considering the FR-S has a decent pair of tires and not the stock Prius tires. All of this with The Stig.
My civic with driver is about 200lbs less than a BRZ with a my weight driver. I net 240whp and 150 TQ. I am sure I run a lower-mid 12 Sec as I have walked some mid 12 sec cars. I know gear ratios is part of my advantages. I could see this car faster than mid 12's with traction and a capable driver.
