I say a bit under 6 for a good launch, mid 6s for OK launches. Sticky tires and bolt-ons: mid 5's. Plenty fast.

a 328i does 0-60 in the low 6s its 3340lbs/230hp = 14.5lbs/hp

an FR-S is about 2700lbs/200hp= 13.75lbs/hp

for more comparison

an S2000 is = 11.90lbs/hp = 0-60 is highly dependent on the driver but can get mid 5's

a Mini Cooper S is = 15.88lbs/hp = upper 6's

a Honda Civic Si is = 14.43lbs/hp = Mid/upper 6's

The FR-S has a bit more torque than a Civic and from what I've heard more usable torque down low, plus the FR-S is a bit lighter as well.
