Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec

The Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec reaches 60 mph in 10.81 s (100 km/h in 11.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.09 s, tripping the lights at 78.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.14 s and the eighth mile in 11.85 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 924 US/Japanese spec

The 1977 Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,152 kg with 110 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 95 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.14 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,391st quickest to 60 mph, and the 333rd quickest of the 334 Porsches here. Its 78.8 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 9 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 Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec 0-60 time?
The Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec reaches 60 mph in 10.81 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,391st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec quarter mile time?
18.09 s at 78.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec have?
110 bhp and 1,152 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 193 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec?
Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Onix 1.4 106 (10.82 s), Nissan Micra 5dr 1.4 16V 82 (10.82 s), Nissan Micra 3dr 1.4 82 (10.82 s). Each one can be raced against the Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec 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 Porsche 924 US/Japanese spec is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
