Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983)

The Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) reaches 60 mph in 9.99 s (100 km/h in 10.60 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.68 s, tripping the lights at 78.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.38 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 Civic 3dr 1.3 75

The 1983 Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 832 kg with 74 bhp, which works out at 89 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 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 10,118th quickest to 60 mph, and the 112th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 78.5 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 Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) reaches 60 mph in 9.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,118th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) quarter mile time?
17.68 s at 78.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) have?
74 bhp and 832 kg, which is 89 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 168 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983)?
Closest here on pace: Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i (9.99 s), Lancia Prisma 1.6 90 (10.01 s), Hyundai Elantra 5dr 1.6 107 (10.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) 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 Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) 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.
