About the XLR-V 4.4 V8 449

The 2008 Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,730 kg with 443 bhp, which works out at 256 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 256 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.96 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,506th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 8th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 106.0 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 Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 0-60 time?
The Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 reaches 60 mph in 4.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,506th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 quarter mile time?
12.94 s at 106.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.30 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.96 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 have?
443 bhp and 1,730 kg, which is 256 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449?
Closest here on pace: Maserati Coupe 4.2 V8 GranSport 400 (4.41 s), Venturi Atlantique 300 GT 310 PS (4.37 s), Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-Dynamic 3.0 V6 380 (4.35 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac XLR-V 4.4 V8 449 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-V 4.4 V8 449 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.
