About the Spider 2.0 120 HP

The 1990 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,120 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 105 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 105 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.74 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,592nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 126th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 84.6 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,592nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP quarter mile time?
16.58 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.74 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP have?
118 bhp and 1,120 kg, which is 105 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP?
Closest here on pace: Opel Cascada Coupe Cabrio 2.0 BiTurbo CDTI 195 (8.52 s), DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 BlueHDi Start and Stop 120 (8.57 s), Opel Cascada Coupe Cabrio 1.6 SIDI Turbo 170 (8.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP 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 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP 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.
