Ford Fiesta ST (2005) vs MINI Cooper

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 MINI Cooper’s 16.66 s — a margin of 0.40 s. To 60 mph the Ford Fiesta ST (2005) takes 7.92 s and the MINI Cooper 8.49 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 MINI Cooper faster?
The Ford Fiesta ST (2005). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.26 s to the MINI Cooper's 16.66 s, a margin of 0.40 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.92 s against 8.49 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 MINI Cooper 0-60 time?
The MINI Cooper reaches 60 mph in 8.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.66 s at 83.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Fiesta ST (2005) trips the lights at 87.1 mph and the MINI Cooper at 83.2 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 9 of 9 for the MINI Cooper. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
