Ford Fiesta ST (2005) vs Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Fiesta ST (2005) is the quicker car, covering it in 16.26 s at 87.1 mph against the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)’s 19.16 s — a margin of 2.90 s. To 60 mph the Ford Fiesta ST (2005) takes 7.92 s and the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) 12.45 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 ST (2005) or the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) faster?
The Ford Fiesta ST (2005). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.26 s to the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)'s 19.16 s, a margin of 2.90 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.92 s against 12.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Fiesta ST (2005) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fiesta ST (2005) reaches 60 mph in 7.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.26 s at 87.1 mph.
What is the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) reaches 60 mph in 12.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.16 s at 73.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Fiesta ST (2005) trips the lights at 87.1 mph and the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) at 73.2 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 — 9 of 9 for the Ford Fiesta ST (2005) and 2 of 2 for the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
