About the Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147
The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,639 kg with 145 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 88 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.42 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 13,743rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 192nd quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 75.5 mph, the 12,415th 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 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 reaches 60 mph in 13.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,743rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 quarter mile time?
19.89 s at 75.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.32 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 have?
145 bhp and 1,639 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 156 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147?
Closest here on pace: Alpine A110 Berlinette 0.9 51 (13.32 s), BMW 3 Series Coupe (E30) 316 90 (13.00 s), Hyundai Accent 3dr 1.4 97 (13.25 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 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 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe 3.9 147 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.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
