Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165

The Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 reaches 60 mph in 8.47 s (100 km/h in 8.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.44 s, tripping the lights at 86.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s and the eighth mile in 10.72 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 Legacy 2.5i 165

The 2003 Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,335 kg with 162 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.79 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 7,435th quickest to 60 mph, and the 63rd quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 86.0 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 Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 0-60 time?
The Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 reaches 60 mph in 8.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,435th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 quarter mile time?
16.44 s at 86.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 have?
162 bhp and 1,335 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti QX50 2.5 V6 222 (8.46 s), Renault 25 2.9 V6 150 (8.47 s), Hyundai Sonata 2.5i V6 160 (8.43 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Legacy 2.5i 165 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 Legacy 2.5i 165 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.
