Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 vs Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 is the quicker car, covering it in 15.33 s at 90.8 mph against the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150’s 18.35 s — a margin of 3.02 s. To 60 mph the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 takes 6.86 s and the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 11.39 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 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 or the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 faster?
The Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.33 s to the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150's 18.35 s, a margin of 3.02 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s against 11.39 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 0-60 time?
The Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 reaches 60 mph in 11.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.35 s at 75.9 mph.
What is the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 0-60 time?
The Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.33 s at 90.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 trips the lights at 75.9 mph and the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 at 90.8 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 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 MIVEC 150 and 2 of 2 for the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
