Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136

The Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s (100 km/h in 8.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.22 s, tripping the lights at 87.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.60 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 Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136

The 1998 Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,115 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 6,872nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 133rd quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 87.6 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.

Questions

What is the Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 0-60 time?
The Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,872nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 quarter mile time?
16.22 s at 87.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 have?
134 bhp and 1,115 kg, which is 120 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136?
Closest here on pace: Volvo 480 1.7 Turbo 120 (8.18 s), Citroen AX 3dr 1.4 95 (8.19 s), Mazda 3/Axela Hatchback 2.0 150 (8.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 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 Opel Astra 3dr 2.0 16V 136 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.
