Shelby Series 1 S/C

The Shelby Series 1 S/C reaches 60 mph in 3.45 s (100 km/h in 3.63 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.96 s, tripping the lights at 116.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.75 s and the eighth mile in 7.65 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.07 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 Series 1 S/C

The 2003 Shelby Series 1 S/C is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,295 kg with 444 bhp, which works out at 343 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 343 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.75 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 600th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 2nd quickest of the 11 Shelbys here. Its 116.0 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 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Shelby Series 1 S/C 0-60 time?
The Shelby Series 1 S/C reaches 60 mph in 3.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 600th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Shelby Series 1 S/C quarter mile time?
11.96 s at 116.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.65 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Shelby Series 1 S/C have?
444 bhp and 1,295 kg, which is 343 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 306 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Shelby Series 1 S/C?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (3.44 s), Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III (3.38 s), Ruf BTR (3.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Shelby Series 1 S/C 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 Shelby Series 1 S/C 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.
