Holden FE 2.2 71

The Holden FE 2.2 71 reaches 60 mph in 16.97 s (100 km/h in 18.22 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 21.77 s, tripping the lights at 65.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.81 s and the eighth mile in 14.41 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 FE 2.2 71

The 1956 Holden FE 2.2 71 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,080 kg with 70 bhp, which works out at 65 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 65 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.81 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,744th quickest to 60 mph, and the 110th quickest of the 110 Holdens here. Its 65.8 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 Holden FE 2.2 71 0-60 time?
The Holden FE 2.2 71 reaches 60 mph in 16.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,744th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden FE 2.2 71 quarter mile time?
21.77 s at 65.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 14.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.81 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden FE 2.2 71 have?
70 bhp and 1,080 kg, which is 65 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 130 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden FE 2.2 71?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz S-Class Ponton (W180/W105/W128) 220 a 84 (17.34 s), Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 (17.27 s), Dacia 1310 Break 1.3 56 (17.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden FE 2.2 71 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 Holden FE 2.2 71 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.
