GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300

The GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 reaches 60 mph in 7.96 s (100 km/h in 8.45 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.26 s, tripping the lights at 85.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.56 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Yukon 5.3 V8 300

The 1999 GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,257 kg with 295 bhp, which works out at 131 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 131 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.77 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,428th quickest to 60 mph, and the 6th quickest of the 10 GMCs here. Its 85.9 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 GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 0-60 time?
The GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 reaches 60 mph in 7.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,428th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 quarter mile time?
16.26 s at 85.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.56 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 have?
295 bhp and 2,257 kg, which is 131 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 GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300?
Closest here on pace: Daewoo Winstorm 3.2 V6 230 (7.96 s), Oldsmobile Bravada 4.2 270 (7.94 s), Chrysler Aspen 4.7 V8 303 (8.04 s). Each one can be raced against the GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 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 GMC Yukon 5.3 V8 300 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.
