Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) vs Citroen C3 1.1 60

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Citroen C3 1.1 60 is the quicker car, covering it in 20.18 s at 69.5 mph against the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008)’s 20.34 s — a margin of 0.16 s. To 60 mph the Citroen C3 1.1 60 takes 14.37 s and the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 15.32 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 Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) or the Citroen C3 1.1 60 faster?
The Citroen C3 1.1 60. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 20.18 s to the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008)'s 20.34 s, a margin of 0.16 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 14.37 s against 15.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 15.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.34 s at 68.9 mph.
What is the Citroen C3 1.1 60 0-60 time?
The Citroen C3 1.1 60 reaches 60 mph in 14.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.18 s at 69.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) trips the lights at 68.9 mph and the Citroen C3 1.1 60 at 69.5 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 Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) and 2 of 2 for the Citroen C3 1.1 60. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
