Is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 or the Honda Prelude 2.0i 135 faster?
The Honda Prelude 2.0i 135. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.39 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 2.07 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.37 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 Honda Prelude 2.0i 135 0-60 time?
The Honda Prelude 2.0i 135 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 16.39 s at 86.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 trips the lights at 74.6 mph and the Honda Prelude 2.0i 135 at 86.3 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 2 of 2 for the Honda Prelude 2.0i 135. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
