Subaru WRX STI vs Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Subaru WRX STI is the quicker car, covering it in 13.69 s at 101.6 mph against the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86’s 21.03 s — a margin of 7.34 s. To 60 mph the Subaru WRX STI takes 5.27 s and the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86 14.86 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 Subaru WRX STI or the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86 faster?
The Subaru WRX STI. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.69 s to the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86's 21.03 s, a margin of 7.34 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.27 s against 14.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Subaru WRX STI 0-60 time?
The Subaru WRX STI reaches 60 mph in 5.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.69 s at 101.6 mph.
What is the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86 0-60 time?
The Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86 reaches 60 mph in 14.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 21.03 s at 74.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Subaru WRX STI trips the lights at 101.6 mph and the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86 at 74.2 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 — 9 of 10 for the Subaru WRX STI and 2 of 2 for the Toyota Corolla 3dr 1.3 86. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
