Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97

The Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s (100 km/h in 11.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.95 s, tripping the lights at 77.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s and the eighth mile in 11.61 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 Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97

The 2011 Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,072 kg with 97 bhp, which works out at 90 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.97 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 10,892nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 144th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. Its 77.8 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 Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,892nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 quarter mile time?
17.95 s at 77.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 have?
97 bhp and 1,072 kg, which is 90 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 171 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 (10.46 s), Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 (10.50 s), Saab 9000 CS 2.0i 130 (10.50 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 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 Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 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.
