About the Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211

The 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,815 kg with 208 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.97 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,827th quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 68 Jeeps here. Its 85.0 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 0-60 time?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 reaches 60 mph in 8.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,827th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 quarter mile time?
16.91 s at 85.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.11 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 have?
208 bhp and 1,815 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac Escalade 5.3 299 (8.66 s), Chevrolet Express 6.0 V8 304 (8.68 s), Porsche Cayenne (955) 3.2 V6 250 (8.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 5.2 V8 211 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.
