Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284

The Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s (100 km/h in 6.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.82 s, tripping the lights at 97.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s and the eighth mile in 9.74 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.

About the LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,884 kg with 280 bhp, which works out at 149 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.52 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,788th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. Its 97.3 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 Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 0-60 time?
The Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,788th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 quarter mile time?
14.82 s at 97.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 have?
280 bhp and 1,884 kg, which is 149 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284?
Closest here on pace: Lexus IS 2.0 241 (6.41 s), Audi A4 2.0T S-line (6.44 s), Bentley Arnage R (6.40 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 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 Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 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.
