About the Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330

The 1992 Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,640 kg with 326 bhp, which works out at 199 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 199 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.45 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,167th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 71st quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 97.4 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 Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 reaches 60 mph in 5.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,167th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 quarter mile time?
14.52 s at 97.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.48 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 have?
326 bhp and 1,640 kg, which is 199 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330?
Closest here on pace: Maserati Quattroporte IV (5.94 s), Lexus GS 430 (5.90 s), Bristol Blenheim 3 5.9 V8 350 (6.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 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 Virage Volante 5.3 V8 330 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.
