Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203

The Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 reaches 60 mph in 10.06 s (100 km/h in 10.61 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.91 s, tripping the lights at 81.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s and the eighth mile in 11.85 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 Terraza 3.5 V6 203

The 2005 Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,028 kg with 200 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.18 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,281st quickest to 60 mph, and the 18th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.6 mph, the 9,165th 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 Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 0-60 time?
The Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 reaches 60 mph in 10.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,281st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 quarter mile time?
17.91 s at 81.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 have?
200 bhp and 2,028 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203?
Closest here on pace: Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 (10.05 s), Chrysler Town and Country 3.8 V6 218 (10.06 s), Suzuki Ignis 1.3 94 (10.05 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 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 Terraza 3.5 V6 203 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.
