About the Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260

The 1985 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,480 kg with 260 bhp, which works out at 176 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 176 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.69 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,501st quickest to 60 mph, and the 113th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 93.9 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 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 0-60 time?
The Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 reaches 60 mph in 6.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,501st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 quarter mile time?
15.36 s at 93.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 have?
260 bhp and 1,480 kg, which is 176 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 237 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Elan (6.78 s), MG TF 1.8 160 (6.91 s), TVR 350i Convertible (6.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 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 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet 3.2 V8 260 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.
