About the Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170

The 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,460 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.78 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 9,035th quickest to 60 mph, and the 78th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 82.5 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 Sedan B4 2.5i 170 0-60 time?
The Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 reaches 60 mph in 9.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,035th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 quarter mile time?
17.22 s at 82.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,460 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 T 185 (9.40 s), Jaguar XJ 4.2 208 (9.39 s), Chrysler 300M 2.7 V6 200 (9.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 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 Sedan B4 2.5i 170 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.
