Ford Focus RS (2009) vs Toyota GR Corolla

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota GR Corolla is the quicker car, covering it in 13.39 s at 105.2 mph against the Ford Focus RS (2009)’s 13.83 s — a margin of 0.43 s. To 60 mph the Toyota GR Corolla takes 4.85 s and the Ford Focus RS (2009) 5.38 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 RS (2009) or the Toyota GR Corolla faster?
The Toyota GR Corolla. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.39 s to the Ford Focus RS (2009)'s 13.83 s, a margin of 0.43 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.85 s against 5.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus RS (2009) 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus RS (2009) reaches 60 mph in 5.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.83 s at 102.9 mph.
What is the Toyota GR Corolla 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR Corolla reaches 60 mph in 4.85 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.39 s at 105.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus RS (2009) trips the lights at 102.9 mph and the Toyota GR Corolla at 105.2 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 10 for the Ford Focus RS (2009) and 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR Corolla. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
