The 2018 Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 Skyactiv-G 122 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,300 kg with 121 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,385th quickest to 60 mph, and the 111th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 81.2 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 2 of 2 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.
