About the Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176

The 2008 Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,339 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 129 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 129 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.73 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,493rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 13th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 94.9 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 Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 reaches 60 mph in 6.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,493rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 quarter mile time?
15.35 s at 94.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.14 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 have?
173 bhp and 1,339 kg, which is 129 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 241 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176?
Closest here on pace: Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TDI 190 Auto (6.97 s), Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TDI ultra 190 Auto (6.95 s), Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (C205) 200 183 (6.99 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 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 Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 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.
