About the 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260

The 2005 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,545 kg with 247 bhp, which works out at 160 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.52 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 4,012th quickest to 60 mph, and the 7th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 94.4 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 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 reaches 60 mph in 6.60 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,012th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 quarter mile time?
15.09 s at 94.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.86 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 have?
247 bhp and 1,545 kg, which is 160 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260?
Closest here on pace: Acura RL (6.57 s), Cadillac DeVille 4.6 V8 294 (6.63 s), Lexus ES 350 268 (6.59 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 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 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 Turbo Aero 260 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.
