About the Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148

The 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,270 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.04 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 8,666th quickest to 60 mph, and the 119th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. Its 83.4 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 Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 reaches 60 mph in 9.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,666th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 quarter mile time?
17.26 s at 83.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.34 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 have?
148 bhp and 1,270 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 177 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.7 V6 203 (2001) (9.14 s), Nissan 300 ZX 3.0 V6 170 (9.19 s), Citroen C6 3.0 V6 211 (9.08 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 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 Sedan 2.2 Ecotec 148 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.
