About the Fighter 8.0 V10 636

The 2002 Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,540 kg with 628 bhp, which works out at 408 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 408 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.84 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 496th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 3rd quickest of the 21 Bristols here. Its 137.3 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 Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 0-60 time?
The Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 reaches 60 mph in 3.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 496th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 quarter mile time?
10.81 s at 137.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 have?
628 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 408 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 386 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 599 GTO (3.27 s), Lamborghini Huracán Evo RWD Spyder (3.11 s), Brabus 800 E V12 Coupe (3.42 s). Each one can be raced against the Bristol Fighter 8.0 V10 636 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 Fighter 8.0 V10 636 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.
