Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170

The Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.43 s (100 km/h in 8.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.52 s, tripping the lights at 91.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s and the eighth mile in 11.12 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 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170

The 1994 Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,350 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 124 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.94 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 7,355th quickest to 60 mph, and the 28th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 91.7 mph, the 4,613th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 0-60 time?
The Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,355th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 quarter mile time?
16.52 s at 91.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,350 kg, which is 124 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Beta Montecarlo 2.0 120 (8.47 s), MG F 1.8i 120 (8.38 s), Pontiac Fiero GT (8.54 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 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 900 Coupe 2.5 V6 170 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.
