About the 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108

The 1972 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 960 kg with 106 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 110 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.76 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,252nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 80th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. Its 82.5 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 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 0-60 time?
The Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 reaches 60 mph in 8.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,252nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 quarter mile time?
16.89 s at 82.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 have?
106 bhp and 960 kg, which is 110 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 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Beta Spider 2.0 115 (8.92 s), MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) (8.93 s), BMW Z3 1.9 (8.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 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 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 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.
