Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 vs Opel Corsa 1.2 75

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Opel Corsa 1.2 75 is the quicker car, covering it in 18.66 s at 73.7 mph against the Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71’s 19.86 s — a margin of 1.20 s. To 60 mph the Opel Corsa 1.2 75 takes 11.94 s and the Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 13.72 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 Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 or the Opel Corsa 1.2 75 faster?
The Opel Corsa 1.2 75. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.66 s to the Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71's 19.86 s, a margin of 1.20 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 11.94 s against 13.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 0-60 time?
The Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 reaches 60 mph in 13.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.86 s at 71.0 mph.
What is the Opel Corsa 1.2 75 0-60 time?
The Opel Corsa 1.2 75 reaches 60 mph in 11.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.66 s at 73.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 trips the lights at 71.0 mph and the Opel Corsa 1.2 75 at 73.7 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 Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 and 2 of 2 for the Opel Corsa 1.2 75. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
