Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i

The Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i reaches 60 mph in 9.99 s (100 km/h in 10.60 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.67 s, tripping the lights at 78.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s and the eighth mile in 11.39 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 Pony 3dr 1.5i

The 1989 Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 950 kg with 83 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.89 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 10,127th quickest to 60 mph, and the 131st quickest of the 295 Hyundais here. Its 78.7 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 Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i reaches 60 mph in 9.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,127th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i quarter mile time?
17.67 s at 78.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.39 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i have?
83 bhp and 950 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 170 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1983) (9.99 s), Honda Civic 3dr 1.3 75 (1987) (9.99 s), Lancia Prisma 1.6 90 (10.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i 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 Hyundai Pony 3dr 1.5i 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.
