Its going to compete (price wise) with the

Genesis Coupe 2.0R is 210/223 and 3294lb.
Mustang V6 305/280 and 3453lb.
Camaro V6 323/278 3780lb.
Challenger V6 305/268 3834lb.
RX-8 212/159 3111lb.
Every other 2+2 RWD coupe is more or less by 10%.
Miata is its best challenger imo. Very cheap and very light and an engine with a good selection of aftermarket parts. The other cars may be better for practical purposes because they are bigger but they pay the price in weight.

You can scratch the genesis coupe 2.0 from that list. It looks like come 2012. In other words, inside of 6 months. The 2.0 gencoupe will be a 271hp/276lb-tq vehicle and the 3.8 will be a 345hp/290lb-tq vehicle. That means even the 2.0 will be closer to being our competitor than the FRS.
With the engine update they're getting... once they upgrade intake and exhaust/BOV, wastegate and turbo timer.... they will give us stock Z owners something to worry about. (I think? Lol)
