About the Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170

The 1994 Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,470 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 114 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.95 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,848th quickest to 60 mph, and the 196th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 85.0 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 Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 0-60 time?
The Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,848th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 quarter mile time?
16.89 s at 85.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.11 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.95 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,470 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170?
Closest here on pace: Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 (8.72 s), Volvo 940 Estate 2.3 Turbo 165 (8.61 s), Cadillac BLS Wagon 2.0 Turbo 175 (8.83 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 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 Omega Caravan 2.5 V6 170 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.
