Mazda 2 1.3 75 vs Volvo C30 1.6 100

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volvo C30 1.6 100 is the quicker car, covering it in 18.08 s at 78.4 mph against the Mazda 2 1.3 75’s 19.32 s — a margin of 1.23 s. To 60 mph the Volvo C30 1.6 100 takes 10.76 s and the Mazda 2 1.3 75 12.75 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 or the Volvo C30 1.6 100 faster?
The Volvo C30 1.6 100. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.08 s to the Mazda 2 1.3 75's 19.32 s, a margin of 1.23 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s against 12.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mazda 2 1.3 75 0-60 time?
The Mazda 2 1.3 75 reaches 60 mph in 12.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.32 s at 73.1 mph.
What is the Volvo C30 1.6 100 0-60 time?
The Volvo C30 1.6 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.08 s at 78.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mazda 2 1.3 75 trips the lights at 73.1 mph and the Volvo C30 1.6 100 at 78.4 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 and 2 of 2 for the Volvo C30 1.6 100. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
