Vauxhall Cavalier SRi

The Vauxhall Cavalier SRi reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.11 s, tripping the lights at 87.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.71 s and the eighth mile in 10.49 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 Cavalier SRi

The 1988 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,060 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.71 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,641st quickest to 60 mph, and the 7th quickest of the 11 Vauxhalls here. Its 87.8 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 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Cavalier SRi is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
