Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 vs Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V is the quicker car, covering it in 16.11 s at 90.6 mph against the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140’s 16.43 s — a margin of 0.32 s. To 60 mph the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V takes 7.68 s and the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 8.37 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 Focus Coupe 2.0 140 or the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V faster?
The Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.11 s to the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140's 16.43 s, a margin of 0.32 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s against 8.37 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.43 s at 85.6 mph.
What is the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V 0-60 time?
The Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.11 s at 90.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 trips the lights at 85.6 mph and the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V at 90.6 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 Focus Coupe 2.0 140 and 7 of 10 for the Ford Escort RS2000 Mk V. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
