About the SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift

The 1992 Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,676 kg with 249 bhp, which works out at 149 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 149 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.85 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,903rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 88th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 93.8 mph, the 4,019th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift 0-60 time?
The Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift reaches 60 mph in 7.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,903rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift quarter mile time?
15.96 s at 93.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift have?
249 bhp and 1,676 kg, which is 149 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Strada 130TC Abarth (7.77 s), Pontiac Vibe GT 1.8 VVTL-i 175 (7.73 s), Ford Fiesta (7.58 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift 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 Lexus SC400 (250 Hp) Z30) (Pre Facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
