The 2001 Opel Astra Cabriolet 2.2 16V 147 is a front-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,293 kg with 145 bhp, which works out at 112 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 6,925th quickest to 60 mph, and the 145th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 86.5 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.
