Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) vs Toyota GR86

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota GR86 is the quicker car, covering it in 14.37 s at 98.3 mph against the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2)’s 14.49 s — a margin of 0.12 s. To 60 mph the Toyota GR86 takes 6.01 s and the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) 6.00 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) or the Toyota GR86 faster?
The Toyota GR86. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.37 s to the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2)'s 14.49 s, a margin of 0.12 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.01 s against 6.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) 0-60 time?
The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) reaches 60 mph in 6.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.49 s at 95.1 mph.
What is the Toyota GR86 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR86 reaches 60 mph in 6.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.37 s at 98.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) trips the lights at 95.1 mph and the Toyota GR86 at 98.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Mazda MX-5 2.0 (ND2) and 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR86. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
