Saleen SR

The Saleen SR reaches 60 mph in 3.77 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.89 s, tripping the lights at 122.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.96 s and the eighth mile in 7.78 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.51 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 SR

The 2001 Saleen SR is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,409 kg with 498 bhp, which works out at 353 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 353 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.96 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 661st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Saleens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 122.6 mph, the 416th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Saleen SR 0-60 time?
The Saleen SR reaches 60 mph in 3.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 661st quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Saleen SR quarter mile time?
11.89 s at 122.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.96 s.
How much power does the Saleen SR have?
498 bhp and 1,409 kg, which is 353 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 326 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Saleen SR?
Closest here on pace: Lexus LFA (3.77 s), Aston Martin Vanquish (3.65 s), Cadillac CTS-V Mk III (3.68 s). Each one can be raced against the Saleen SR in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Saleen SR is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
