Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100

The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 reaches 60 mph in 9.55 s (100 km/h in 10.10 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.08 s, tripping the lights at 80.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s and the eighth mile in 10.96 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 1.7 CDTi 100

The 2001 Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,174 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 85 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.54 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 9,340th quickest to 60 mph, and the 72nd quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. Its 80.3 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 1.7 CDTi 100 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 reaches 60 mph in 9.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,340th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 quarter mile time?
17.08 s at 80.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 have?
99 bhp and 1,174 kg, which is 85 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 187 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100?
Closest here on pace: Renault Mégane Hatch 1.5 dCi 110 (9.55 s), Holden Barina 5dr 1.7 CDTI 101 (9.51 s), Fiat Bravo 1.9 Multijet 120 (9.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 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 1.7 CDTi 100 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.
