Questions

Is the Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I or the Renault Safrane 2.5 168 faster?
The Renault Safrane 2.5 168. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.59 s to the Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I's 16.87 s, a margin of 0.27 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s against 8.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I 0-60 time?
The Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.87 s at 82.5 mph.
What is the Renault Safrane 2.5 168 0-60 time?
The Renault Safrane 2.5 168 reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.59 s at 86.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I trips the lights at 82.5 mph and the Renault Safrane 2.5 168 at 86.6 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 — 9 of 9 for the Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I and 2 of 2 for the Renault Safrane 2.5 168. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
