The Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I reaches 60 mph in 10.03 s (100 km/h in 10.47 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.52 s, tripping the lights at 86.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.13 s and the eighth mile in 11.79 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the Barracuda Formula S Mk I
The 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,374 kg with 235 bhp, which works out at 171 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 171 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.13 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,222nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 8 Plymouths here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 86.7 mph, the 6,521st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I 0-60 time?
The Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I reaches 60 mph in 10.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,222nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I quarter mile time?
17.52 s at 86.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I have?
235 bhp and 1,374 kg, which is 171 bhp per tonne. It is rear-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 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler C-300 5.4 V8 300 (9.87 s), Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.0 193 (10.04 s), Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 (9.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I 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 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
