About the Corsair 2000E 2.0 98

The 1964 Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,031 kg with 97 bhp, which works out at 94 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 94 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.38 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 13,424th quickest to 60 mph, and the 676th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 74.3 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 Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 0-60 time?
The Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 reaches 60 mph in 12.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,424th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 quarter mile time?
19.29 s at 74.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 have?
97 bhp and 1,031 kg, which is 94 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 156 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98?
Closest here on pace: Saab 90 2.0 100 (12.74 s), Bristol 406 2.2 107 (12.76 s), MG ZT 1.8i 16V 120 (12.75 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 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 Ford Corsair 2000E 2.0 98 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.
