Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP

The Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s (100 km/h in 8.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.42 s, tripping the lights at 85.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.74 s and the eighth mile in 10.67 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 Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP

The 1988 Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,095 kg with 122 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.74 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 7,256th quickest to 60 mph, and the 43rd quickest of the 164 Mitsubishis here. Its 85.8 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 Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP 0-60 time?
The Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,256th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP quarter mile time?
16.42 s at 85.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.67 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.74 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP have?
122 bhp and 1,095 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP?
Closest here on pace: Honda Prelude 2.0i 135 (8.37 s), Ford Sierra 5dr 2.9i 146 (8.38 s), Ford Focus 5dr 2.0 148 (8.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP 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 Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 GTi 124 HP 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.
