Audi A4 1.6 102 vs Subaru WRX Mk IV

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Subaru WRX Mk IV is the quicker car, covering it in 13.90 s at 98.8 mph against the Audi A4 1.6 102’s 18.54 s — a margin of 4.64 s. To 60 mph the Subaru WRX Mk IV takes 5.29 s and the Audi A4 1.6 102 11.51 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Audi A4 1.6 102 or the Subaru WRX Mk IV faster?
The Subaru WRX Mk IV. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.90 s to the Audi A4 1.6 102's 18.54 s, a margin of 4.64 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s against 11.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi A4 1.6 102 0-60 time?
The Audi A4 1.6 102 reaches 60 mph in 11.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.54 s at 77.2 mph.
What is the Subaru WRX Mk IV 0-60 time?
The Subaru WRX Mk IV reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.90 s at 98.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A4 1.6 102 trips the lights at 77.2 mph and the Subaru WRX Mk IV at 98.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Audi A4 1.6 102 and 7 of 7 for the Subaru WRX Mk IV. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
