2500/200 weight/power ratio puts it in the same league as the V6 Camaro, and the lightweight and superior balance and CG means it would run laps around one on a road course.

Besides, this car is more of a Miata rival and a pony car rival. The magic will be in the way it drives and handles, not straight-line speed. It's not meant to be a 12 second quarter-mile car, and it isn't trying to be.
