Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140

The Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.82 s (100 km/h in 9.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.03 s, tripping the lights at 84.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.96 s and the eighth mile in 11.18 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 Astra (5dr) 1.8 140

The 2008 Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,260 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.96 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 8,075th quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 3 Saturns here. Its 84.0 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 Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 0-60 time?
The Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.82 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,075th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 quarter mile time?
17.03 s at 84.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.96 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,260 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140?
Closest here on pace: Lada Priora TMS (8.75 s), Opel Astra 3dr 1.8 16V 140 (8.72 s), Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2.0 130 (8.83 s). Each one can be raced against the Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 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 Saturn Astra (5dr) 1.8 140 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.
