About the Forester 2.5 167

The 2002 Subaru Forester 2.5 167 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,400 kg with 165 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.83 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,286th quickest to 60 mph, and the 71st quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 83.7 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 Subaru Forester 2.5 167 0-60 time?
The Subaru Forester 2.5 167 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,286th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Forester 2.5 167 quarter mile time?
16.82 s at 83.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Forester 2.5 167 have?
165 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 118 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 193 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Forester 2.5 167?
Closest here on pace: MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 (9.03 s), Renault Kadjar 160 TCe GBF 160 (8.95 s), Volvo XC60 3.2 243 (8.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Forester 2.5 167 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 Subaru Forester 2.5 167 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.
