About the Griffith 500 V8 340

The 1992 TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,060 kg with 335 bhp, which works out at 316 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 316 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.97 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 874th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 14th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 115.9 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 TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 0-60 time?
The TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 874th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 quarter mile time?
12.10 s at 115.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.84 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 have?
335 bhp and 1,060 kg, which is 316 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 259 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the TVR Griffith 500 V8 340?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24 Mk I (3.76 s), Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster Mk I (3.77 s), Aston Martin V12 Zagato 6.0 V12 517 (3.72 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 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 TVR Griffith 500 V8 340 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.
