Questions

Is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 or the BMW M3 G80 faster?
The BMW M3 G80. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.20 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 6.25 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s against 11.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 reaches 60 mph in 11.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.45 s at 74.6 mph.
What is the BMW M3 G80 0-60 time?
The BMW M3 G80 reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.20 s at 117.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 trips the lights at 74.6 mph and the BMW M3 G80 at 117.7 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 Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 and 9 of 10 for the BMW M3 G80. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
