Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174

The Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 reaches 60 mph in 8.97 s (100 km/h in 9.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.08 s, tripping the lights at 85.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.02 s and the eighth mile in 11.30 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 Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174

The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,549 kg with 176 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.02 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 8,371st quickest to 60 mph, and the 117th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 85.6 mph, the 6,987th 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 Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 reaches 60 mph in 8.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,371st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 quarter mile time?
17.08 s at 85.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.30 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 have?
176 bhp and 1,549 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174?
Closest here on pace: Citroen XM 3.0 V6 170 (1994) (8.87 s), Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 (8.96 s), Mercury Grand Marquis 4.6 V8 Duratec 224 (9.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 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 Malibu 2.4 Flexfuel 174 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.
