Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155

The Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 reaches 60 mph in 9.44 s (100 km/h in 9.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.42 s, tripping the lights at 84.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.09 s and the eighth mile in 11.58 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Continental 3.8 V6 155

The 1988 Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,647 kg with 156 bhp, which works out at 94 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.09 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,167th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.7 mph, the 7,418th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 reaches 60 mph in 9.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,167th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 quarter mile time?
17.42 s at 84.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.09 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 have?
156 bhp and 1,647 kg, which is 94 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 193 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155?
Closest here on pace: Daewoo Magnus 2.0 130 (9.45 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Sedan 2.0 145 (9.50 s), Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 Skyactiv-G 122 (9.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 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 Lincoln Continental 3.8 V6 155 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.
