Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116

The Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s (100 km/h in 8.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.28 s, tripping the lights at 86.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.71 s and the eighth mile in 10.58 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 Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116

The 1985 Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 970 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.71 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 6,897th quickest to 60 mph, and the 144th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 86.6 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 Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 0-60 time?
The Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,897th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 quarter mile time?
16.28 s at 86.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.71 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 have?
114 bhp and 970 kg, which is 118 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 Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116?
Closest here on pace: Kia Cerato / Spectra Sedan 2.0 16V 143 (8.19 s), Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 150 (8.19 s), Volvo 244 2.1 Turbo 155 (8.16 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 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 Kadett Sedan 2.0i 116 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.
