About the Tuscan S 4.0 394

The 2001 TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,100 kg with 389 bhp, which works out at 354 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 354 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 316th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 6th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 126.8 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 Tuscan S 4.0 394 0-60 time?
The TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394 reaches 60 mph in 3.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 316th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394 quarter mile time?
11.28 s at 126.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394 have?
389 bhp and 1,100 kg, which is 354 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394?
Closest here on pace: Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Manthey Performance 982 (3.13 s), Aston Martin Vanquish S 5.9 V12 580 (3.11 s), Aston Martin DB12 (3.21 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR Tuscan S 4.0 394 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 Tuscan S 4.0 394 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.
