Holden Zafira 1.8 126

The Holden Zafira 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 10.49 s (100 km/h in 11.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.90 s, tripping the lights at 79.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s and the eighth mile in 11.69 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 Zafira 1.8 126

The 1999 Holden Zafira 1.8 126 is a front-drive naturally aspirated MPV of 1,435 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 86 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.07 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 10,964th quickest to 60 mph, and the 72nd quickest of the 110 Holdens here. Its 79.2 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Holden Zafira 1.8 126 0-60 time?
The Holden Zafira 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 10.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,964th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden Zafira 1.8 126 quarter mile time?
17.90 s at 79.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.69 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden Zafira 1.8 126 have?
123 bhp and 1,435 kg, which is 86 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden Zafira 1.8 126?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Meriva 1.4 ecoFLEX bi-fuel 120 (10.71 s), Renault Scenic 1.2 TCe 115 (2013) (10.63 s), Chevrolet Orlando 1.8 141 (10.65 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden Zafira 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 Zafira 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.
