About the Wrangler TJ 2.5 118

The 1996 Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,405 kg with 117 bhp, which works out at 83 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.96 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 13,409th quickest to 60 mph, and the 65th quickest of the 68 Jeeps here. Its 71.7 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.

Questions

What is the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 0-60 time?
The Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 reaches 60 mph in 12.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,409th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 quarter mile time?
18.95 s at 71.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.96 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 have?
117 bhp and 1,405 kg, which is 83 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 142 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118?
Closest here on pace: Dacia Duster TCe 100 Bi-Fuel (12.75 s), Suzuki Jimny 1.3 VVT 85 (12.73 s), Subaru XV 1.6i CVT 114 (12.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2.5 118 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 TJ 2.5 118 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.
