Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140

The Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s (100 km/h in 11.01 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.15 s, tripping the lights at 81.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.23 s and the eighth mile in 12.09 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 Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140

The 2004 Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,235 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.23 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,897th quickest to 60 mph, and the 101st quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.6 mph, the 9,121st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,897th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 quarter mile time?
18.15 s at 81.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.09 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,235 kg, which is 112 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140?
Closest here on pace: Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 (10.44 s), Suzuki Grand Vitara 3dr 2.4 166 (10.49 s), Ford Mondeo 2.3 (10.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 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 Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 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.
