AC Ace 5.0 V8

The AC Ace 5.0 V8 reaches 60 mph in 5.28 s (100 km/h in 5.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.57 s, tripping the lights at 103.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s and the eighth mile in 8.85 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.03 s.

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.

About the Ace 5.0 V8

The 1999 AC Ace 5.0 V8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,512 kg with 350 bhp, which works out at 231 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 231 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.17 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,442nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 5th quickest of the 5 ACs here. Its 103.9 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 6 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the AC Ace 5.0 V8 0-60 time?
The AC Ace 5.0 V8 reaches 60 mph in 5.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,442nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the AC Ace 5.0 V8 quarter mile time?
13.57 s at 103.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the AC Ace 5.0 V8 have?
350 bhp and 1,512 kg, which is 231 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 255 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the AC Ace 5.0 V8?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 308 GTi 1.6 THP 272 (5.30 s), Nissan 370Z Nismo (5.29 s), Holden Commodore GTS-R VT II (5.23 s). Each one can be raced against the AC Ace 5.0 V8 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The AC Ace 5.0 V8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 6 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
