The Bristol 404 Coupe 2.0 107 reaches 60 mph in 12.86 s (100 km/h in 13.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.72 s, tripping the lights at 75.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.50 s and the eighth mile in 13.14 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 1953 Bristol 404 Coupe 2.0 107 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,040 kg with 106 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 102 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.50 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 13,512th quickest to 60 mph, and the 17th quickest of the 21 Bristols here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 75.2 mph, the 12,526th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
