About the Laser 2.0i 137

The 1989 Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,215 kg with 135 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.23 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 10,858th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 8 Plymouths here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.0 mph, the 9,529th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 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 Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 0-60 time?

The Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 reaches 60 mph in 10.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,858th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 quarter mile time?

18.16 s at 81.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 have?

135 bhp and 1,215 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 182 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137?

Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 (10.46 s), Suzuki Grand Vitara 3dr 2.4 166 (10.49 s), Ford Mondeo 2.3 (10.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 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 Laser 2.0i 137 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.
