Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130

The Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.92 s (100 km/h in 9.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.86 s, tripping the lights at 83.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s and the eighth mile in 10.92 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 Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130

The 2002 Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,350 kg with 130 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.79 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 8,268th quickest to 60 mph, and the 20th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 83.0 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,268th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 quarter mile time?
16.86 s at 83.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.92 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 have?
130 bhp and 1,350 kg, which is 96 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar E-Pace D180 180 (8.91 s), Daewoo Lacetti 5dr 1.8 121 (8.93 s), FSO Prima 1.4 (8.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 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 Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 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.
