About the B8 4.6 Coupe E36

The 1995 Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,552 kg with 333 bhp, which works out at 214 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 214 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.23 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,169th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 41st quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. Its 104.5 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 0-60 time?
The Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 reaches 60 mph in 5.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,169th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 quarter mile time?
13.71 s at 104.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 have?
333 bhp and 1,552 kg, which is 214 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Supra Turbo Mk IV Europe (5.03 s), Maserati GranTurismo (4.89 s), Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Mk I (4.85 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 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 Alpina B8 4.6 Coupe E36 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
