About the V8 Vantage S Mk I

The 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,629 kg with 430 bhp, which works out at 264 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 264 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.07 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,290th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 48th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 115.5 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 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,290th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I quarter mile time?
12.58 s at 115.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I have?
430 bhp and 1,629 kg, which is 264 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 305 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Continental GT Speed Mk I (4.18 s), Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe (4.17 s), Lexus RC F (4.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Mk I 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 V8 Vantage S Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
