About the Regal 2.0 Turbo 259

The 2010 Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,633 kg with 259 bhp, which works out at 158 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 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 4,128th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. Its 94.0 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 Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 0-60 time?
The Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 reaches 60 mph in 6.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,128th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 quarter mile time?
15.13 s at 94.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.85 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 Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 have?
259 bhp and 1,633 kg, which is 158 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 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 Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac XTS 3.6 V6 305 (6.67 s), Cadillac DeVille 4.6 V8 294 (6.63 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 (6.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 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 Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 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.
