Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173

The Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 reaches 60 mph in 10.05 s (100 km/h in 10.61 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.92 s, tripping the lights at 81.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.17 s and the eighth mile in 11.81 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 Villager 3.3 V6 173

The 1998 Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,815 kg with 170 bhp, which works out at 94 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.17 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 10,269th quickest to 60 mph, and the 9th quickest of the 10 Mercurys here. Its 81.0 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 Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 0-60 time?
The Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 reaches 60 mph in 10.05 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,269th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 quarter mile time?
17.92 s at 81.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.81 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 have?
170 bhp and 1,815 kg, which is 94 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173?
Closest here on pace: Buick Terraza 3.5 V6 203 (10.06 s), Suzuki Ignis 1.3 94 (10.05 s), Chrysler Town and Country 3.8 V6 218 (10.06 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 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 Mercury Villager 3.3 V6 173 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.
