Depending on the model (the speed aside) you're looking either 150 or 165 horsepower. Here's a few specs I pulled off Mazda's site:
GX/GS
--------
150hp @ 6500
128lb-ft @ 4500
GT
---
160hp @ 6500
150lb-ft @ 4500
GX/GS

I was looking up specs and well they come with 2 engine options a 2.0 or a 2.3 The 2.0 has 145HP and the 2.3 has 160HP. Also according to the 1/4 mile times a mazda 3 with a 2.3L engine would be about .15 seconds faster. So in this case its gonna be a really close race. However if it had the 2.0L we could prolly beat it

With your mods, you'll be more than fine.

I call BS.
I've raced a 2.3L 5 Speed in my Malibu and I could hardly keep up with the thing.
They run low 15's stock.
An Auto Cobalt would get trashed.

Call BS on whatever you like, why would I lie about something like that? Could really care less, honestly.
