Opel Vectra VXR

The Opel Vectra VXR reaches 60 mph in 5.56 s (100 km/h in 5.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.95 s, tripping the lights at 104.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s and the eighth mile in 9.15 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.92 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 Vectra VXR

The 2006 Opel Vectra VXR is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,370 kg with 280 bhp, which works out at 205 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.37 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 2,745th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 9th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 104.0 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 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Opel Vectra VXR 0-60 time?
The Opel Vectra VXR reaches 60 mph in 5.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,745th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Vectra VXR quarter mile time?
13.95 s at 104.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Opel Vectra VXR have?
280 bhp and 1,370 kg, which is 205 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 261 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Vectra VXR?
Closest here on pace: Plymouth Prowler facelift (5.58 s), Ferrari 348TB (5.69 s), Hyundai I30N Performance Mk III (5.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Vectra VXR 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 Vectra VXR is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
