About the Taurus SHO Mk VI

The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,945 kg with 365 bhp, which works out at 188 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.14 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,279th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 47th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 101.9 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 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI 0-60 time?
The Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI reaches 60 mph in 5.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,279th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI quarter mile time?
13.67 s at 101.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI have?
365 bhp and 1,945 kg, which is 188 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 252 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac Grand Prix GXP (5.13 s), Jaguar XE 2.0 P300 300 (5.11 s), Infiniti M45 (5.09 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Taurus SHO Mk VI 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 Taurus SHO Mk VI is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
