The 2005 Ford Focus 2.0 16v is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,245 kg with 143 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,742nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 85th quickest of the 110 Fords here. Its 84.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
