well if its just a 2.3. it has 153 hp and gets to 60 in 8.1, mazda speed is a 2.3t with 263hp 0-60 in 5.5 (impressive). So with that being said, it'd be really close.

I drive with my friend who has a mazda 3 and they have about the same get up. We have never actually had a "race", but if my 2.8 12v can hang then im sure the 1.8T could do just fine.
