About the Zonda C12 S

The 2002 Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,250 kg with 547 bhp, which works out at 438 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 438 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.84 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 521st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 8th quickest of the 11 Paganis here. Its 128.7 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 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) 0-60 time?
The Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) reaches 60 mph in 3.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 521st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) quarter mile time?
11.31 s at 128.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.39 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) have?
547 bhp and 1,250 kg, which is 438 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 335 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002)?
Closest here on pace: Porsche Carrera GT (3.42 s), Aston Martin DBS Superleggera (3.31 s), Mosler MT 900 GTR (3.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) 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 Pagani Zonda C12 S (2002) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
