Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120

The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.35 s (100 km/h in 9.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.01 s, tripping the lights at 80.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s and the eighth mile in 10.94 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 1.4 120

The 2006 Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,088 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.70 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 9,015th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. Its 80.9 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 Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,015th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 quarter mile time?
17.01 s at 80.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 have?
118 bhp and 1,088 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 146 1.7 129 (9.30 s), Datsun 280-ZX (9.31 s), Peugeot 405 1.9 110 (9.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.4 120 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 1.4 120 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.
