Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97

The Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 reaches 60 mph in 13.55 s (100 km/h in 14.28 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.22 s, tripping the lights at 76.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.43 s and the eighth mile in 13.70 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 Saratoga 2.5 97

The 1989 Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,305 kg with 98 bhp, which works out at 75 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.43 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 13,896th quickest to 60 mph, and the 75th quickest of the 76 Chryslers here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 76.4 mph, the 11,986th 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 0-60 time?
The Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 reaches 60 mph in 13.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,896th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 quarter mile time?
20.22 s at 76.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.70 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.43 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97 have?
98 bhp and 1,305 kg, which is 75 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 167 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 97?
Closest here on pace: Proton Waja/Impian 1.6 103 (13.51 s), Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 112 (13.39 s), Bristol 403 2.0 107 (13.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 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 Chrysler Saratoga 2.5 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.

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.
