Cadillac STS

The Cadillac STS reaches 60 mph in 5.79 s (100 km/h in 6.11 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.30 s, tripping the lights at 99.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.28 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 STS

The 2008 Cadillac STS is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,928 kg with 321 bhp, which works out at 166 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 166 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.35 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,017th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 20th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 99.3 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Cadillac STS 0-60 time?
The Cadillac STS reaches 60 mph in 5.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,017th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac STS quarter mile time?
14.30 s at 99.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac STS have?
321 bhp and 1,928 kg, which is 166 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac STS?
Closest here on pace: Lexus SC 430 V8 286 (5.79 s), Infiniti EX 3.7 V6 320 (5.73 s), VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 (5.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac STS 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 Cadillac STS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
