Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182

The Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 reaches 60 mph in 8.03 s (100 km/h in 8.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.22 s, tripping the lights at 85.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s and the eighth mile in 10.45 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 Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182

The 2012 Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,500 kg with 180 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.56 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 6,578th quickest to 60 mph, and the 13th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. Its 85.3 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 Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 0-60 time?
The Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 reaches 60 mph in 8.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,578th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 quarter mile time?
16.22 s at 85.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.45 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 have?
180 bhp and 1,500 kg, which is 120 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182?
Closest here on pace: Volvo V50 2.0 D4 177 (8.06 s), Opel Vectra GTS 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 (8.08 s), Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.6 Turbo 180 (8.07 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 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 Verano 2.4 EcoTec 182 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.
