Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126

The Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 9.58 s (100 km/h in 10.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.23 s, tripping the lights at 83.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.00 s and the eighth mile in 11.32 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Vectra Sedan 1.8 126

The 1995 Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,345 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.00 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,453rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 59th quickest of the 110 Holdens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.1 mph, the 8,269th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 0-60 time?
The Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 9.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,453rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 quarter mile time?
17.23 s at 83.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.32 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 have?
123 bhp and 1,345 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.0 141 (9.58 s), Renault Safrane 2.0 138 (9.58 s), Nissan Primera Traveller 2.0 16V 116 (9.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 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 Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 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.
