Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216

The Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 reaches 60 mph in 10.81 s (100 km/h in 11.40 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.42 s, tripping the lights at 79.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.28 s and the eighth mile in 12.23 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.

About the SLX 3.5 V6 216

The 1997 Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,093 kg with 213 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.28 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,381st quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 25 Acuras here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 79.9 mph, the 10,064th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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.

Questions

What is the Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 0-60 time?
The Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 reaches 60 mph in 10.81 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,381st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 quarter mile time?
18.42 s at 79.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.23 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 have?
213 bhp and 2,093 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Land Cruiser 100 4.7 V8 235 (10.70 s), Dodge Journey 2.4 170 (10.93 s), Honda CR-V 2.0 150 (10.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 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 Acura SLX 3.5 V6 216 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
