About the 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125

The 2003 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,460 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 85 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 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 10,130th quickest to 60 mph, and the 63rd quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 79.3 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 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 reaches 60 mph in 10.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,130th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 quarter mile time?
17.40 s at 79.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.23 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,460 kg, which is 85 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125?
Closest here on pace: MG ZT 2.0 CDTi 131 (9.98 s), MG ZT 2.0d 131 (9.98 s), Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 (9.99 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 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 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.2 TiD 125 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.
