Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154

The Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s (100 km/h in 8.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.56 s, tripping the lights at 86.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s and the eighth mile in 10.86 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 Altima 2.4 16V 154

The 1998 Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,325 kg with 152 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.91 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 6,903rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 71st quickest of the 263 Nissans here. Its 86.4 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 Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 0-60 time?
The Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,903rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 quarter mile time?
16.56 s at 86.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.86 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 have?
152 bhp and 1,325 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154?
Closest here on pace: Opel Calibra 2.0 16V 150 (8.21 s), Volvo S40 2.0 145 (8.17 s), Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2004) (8.21 s). Each one can be raced against the Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 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 Nissan Altima 2.4 16V 154 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.
