Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170

The Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s (100 km/h in 8.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.11 s, tripping the lights at 90.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s and the eighth mile in 10.62 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 Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170

The 1995 Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,423 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.83 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 6,036th quickest to 60 mph, and the 29th quickest of the 110 Holdens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 90.5 mph, the 4,957th 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 2.6 V6 170 0-60 time?
The Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,036th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 quarter mile time?
16.11 s at 90.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,423 kg, which is 118 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170?
Closest here on pace: Lexus IS 250 V6 (US) 204 (7.76 s), Toyota Land Cruiser J200 4.6 V8 308 (7.74 s), Volvo V70 2.0T 180 (7.79 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden Vectra Sedan 2.6 V6 170 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 2.6 V6 170 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.
