Questions

Is the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 or the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) faster?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 19.16 s to the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008)'s 20.34 s, a margin of 1.17 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 12.49 s against 15.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 reaches 60 mph in 12.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.16 s at 73.9 mph.
What is the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 15.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.34 s at 68.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 trips the lights at 73.9 mph and the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) at 68.9 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 SEAT Leon 1.4 85 and 2 of 2 for the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
