About the Wrangler 2.5 119

The 1987 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,340 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.15 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 13,813th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 68 Jeeps here. Its 71.5 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 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 0-60 time?
The Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 reaches 60 mph in 13.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,813th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 quarter mile time?
19.33 s at 71.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.43 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 have?
118 bhp and 1,340 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 150 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119?
Closest here on pace: Land Rover Defender 110 3.5 V8 136 (13.31 s), Daihatsu Move 1.0 55 (13.55 s), Dacia Dokker 1.6 MPI 85 (13.16 s). Each one can be raced against the Jeep Wrangler 2.5 119 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 Wrangler 2.5 119 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.
