About the Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218

The 2013 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,495 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 144 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.46 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 3,535th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 17th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 97.5 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 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 0-60 time?
The MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 reaches 60 mph in 6.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,535th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 quarter mile time?
14.73 s at 97.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 have?
215 bhp and 1,495 kg, which is 144 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 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 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic Type-R FN2 (6.25 s), Opel Astra 1.6 Turbo K (6.24 s), Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 218 PS (6.17 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 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 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 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.
