Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129,
2/2 for the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 or the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.76 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 1.70 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s against 11.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.76 s at 83.1 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 trips the lights at 83.1 mph and the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 at 74.6 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 — 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 and 2 of 2 for the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
