Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80

The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 reaches 60 mph in 10.74 s (100 km/h in 11.39 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.11 s, tripping the lights at 77.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.04 s and the eighth mile in 11.75 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 Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80

The 2001 Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 999 kg with 79 bhp, which works out at 79 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.04 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 11,291st quickest to 60 mph, and the 111th quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. Its 77.5 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 reaches 60 mph in 10.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,291st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 quarter mile time?
18.11 s at 77.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 have?
79 bhp and 999 kg, which is 79 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80?
Closest here on pace: Volvo C30 1.6 100 (10.76 s), Holden Barina 5dr 1.2 75 (10.73 s), DR Motor dr CityCross 1.3 83 (10.75 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 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 Corsa 3dr 1.2i 80 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.
