MG ZS 5dr 180

The MG ZS 5dr 180 reaches 60 mph in 7.00 s (100 km/h in 7.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.52 s, tripping the lights at 92.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s and the eighth mile in 10.21 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the ZS 5dr 180

The 2002 MG ZS 5dr 180 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,235 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 141 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.68 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 4,651st quickest to 60 mph, and the 16th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 92.6 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the MG ZS 5dr 180 0-60 time?
The MG ZS 5dr 180 reaches 60 mph in 7.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,651st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG ZS 5dr 180 quarter mile time?
15.52 s at 92.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.21 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG ZS 5dr 180 have?
174 bhp and 1,235 kg, which is 141 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 224 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG ZS 5dr 180?
Closest here on pace: Fiat 595 Abarth 1.4 145 (7.02 s), Fiat 595C Abarth 1.4 145 (7.02 s), Isuzu Impuse RS (7.01 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZS 5dr 180 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 MG ZS 5dr 180 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.
