Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170

The Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.00 s (100 km/h in 8.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.09 s, tripping the lights at 88.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.50 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 Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170

The 1987 Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,380 kg with 166 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 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 6,527th quickest to 60 mph, and the 54th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 88.2 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.

Questions

What is the Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 0-60 time?
The Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,527th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 quarter mile time?
16.09 s at 88.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170 have?
166 bhp and 1,380 kg, which is 120 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 205 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i V6 170?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 GTi 144 (8.00 s), Hyundai Lantra 2.0i 139 (8.00 s), Ford Fusion North American 2.5 175 (8.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i 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 Honda Legend Sedan 2.7i 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.
