Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,475 kg with 270 bhp, which works out at 183 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.23 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 2,459th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 18th quickest of the 263 Nissans here. Its 100.9 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 10 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.
