About the DB4 GT 3.7 306

The 1959 Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,227 kg with 302 bhp, which works out at 246 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 246 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.53 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,097th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 70th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 102.4 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 Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 reaches 60 mph in 5.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,097th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 quarter mile time?
14.46 s at 102.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 have?
302 bhp and 1,227 kg, which is 246 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 330 GTC (5.93 s), Lamborghini 350GT (5.92 s), Amc AMX (5.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 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 Aston Martin DB4 GT 3.7 306 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.
