Dacia 1300 1.3 54

The Dacia 1300 1.3 54 reaches 60 mph in 16.39 s (100 km/h in 17.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 21.17 s, tripping the lights at 68.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.77 s and the eighth mile in 13.91 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 1300 1.3 54

The 1969 Dacia 1300 1.3 54 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 900 kg with 51 bhp, which works out at 57 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.77 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 14,685th quickest to 60 mph, and the 87th quickest of the 93 Dacias here. Its 68.2 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.

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 Dacia 1300 1.3 54 0-60 time?
The Dacia 1300 1.3 54 reaches 60 mph in 16.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,685th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Dacia 1300 1.3 54 quarter mile time?
21.17 s at 68.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Dacia 1300 1.3 54 have?
51 bhp and 900 kg, which is 57 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 145 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Dacia 1300 1.3 54?
Closest here on pace: Lada Nova 1.3 65 (16.41 s), Dacia 1310 1.3 54 (1981) (16.37 s), Ford Fiesta 5dr 1.0 67 (16.50 s). Each one can be raced against the Dacia 1300 1.3 54 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 Dacia 1300 1.3 54 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.
