About the XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510

The 2009 Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 is a rear-drive supercharged saloon of 1,892 kg with 503 bhp, which works out at 266 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 266 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.96 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,508th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 30th quickest of the 187 Jaguars here. Its 106.0 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 Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 reaches 60 mph in 4.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,508th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 quarter mile time?
12.94 s at 106.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.30 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.96 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 have?
503 bhp and 1,892 kg, which is 266 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, supercharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Challenger SRT 6.2 V8 485 (4.41 s), Lexus IS-F facelift (4.36 s), Rolls-Royce Ghost 6.6 V12 Vspec 593 (4.40 s). Each one can be raced against the Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 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 Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged SWB 510 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.
