About the 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390

The 2010 Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,810 kg with 385 bhp, which works out at 213 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 213 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.47 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,768th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 9th quickest of the 21 Bristols here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 106.1 mph, the 1,798th 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.

Questions

What is the Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 0-60 time?
The Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 reaches 60 mph in 5.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,768th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 quarter mile time?
14.02 s at 106.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 have?
385 bhp and 1,810 kg, which is 213 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390?
Closest here on pace: Audi S4 B6 (5.63 s), Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 (5.58 s), Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 (5.59 s). Each one can be raced against the Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 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 Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 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.
