About the XLR 4.6 V8 326

The 2004 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,690 kg with 322 bhp, which works out at 190 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 190 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.41 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,513th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 15th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 107.7 mph, the 1,616th 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 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 0-60 time?
The Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 reaches 60 mph in 5.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,513th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 quarter mile time?
13.64 s at 107.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 have?
322 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 190 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 XLR 4.6 V8 326?
Closest here on pace: Acura NSX 3.0 V6 270 (5.36 s), Renault Megane RS Clubsport (5.26 s), Infiniti G37 Coupe (5.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 326 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 XLR 4.6 V8 326 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.
