About the Nitro 4.0 V6 258

The 2006 Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,801 kg with 255 bhp, which works out at 141 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 141 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.63 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,883rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 39th quickest of the 60 Dodges here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.8 mph at the lights is only the 6,927th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 0-60 time?
The Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 reaches 60 mph in 7.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,883rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 quarter mile time?
16.07 s at 85.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.34 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.63 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 have?
255 bhp and 1,801 kg, which is 141 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258?
Closest here on pace: Land Rover Freelander - LR2 2.0 Si4 GTDi 240 (7.67 s), Chrysler Aspen 4.7 V8 2WD 303 (7.59 s), Porsche Cayenne Mk I facelift (7.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 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 Dodge Nitro 4.0 V6 258 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.
