Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 vs Lexus IS 250

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Lexus IS 250 is the quicker car, covering it in 15.48 s at 91.1 mph against the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83’s 18.45 s — a margin of 2.97 s. To 60 mph the Lexus IS 250 takes 7.06 s and the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 11.58 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 Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 or the Lexus IS 250 faster?
The Lexus IS 250. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.48 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 2.97 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.06 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 Lexus IS 250 0-60 time?
The Lexus IS 250 reaches 60 mph in 7.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.48 s at 91.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 trips the lights at 74.6 mph and the Lexus IS 250 at 91.1 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 Lexus IS 250. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
