Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 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 Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140’s 16.43 s — a margin of 2.53 s. To 60 mph the Subaru WRX Mk IV takes 5.29 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 Subaru WRX Mk IV faster?
The Subaru WRX Mk IV. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.90 s to the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140's 16.43 s, a margin of 2.53 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.29 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 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 Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 trips the lights at 85.6 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 Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 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.
