Toyota GR86 vs Subaru WRX STI

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 GR86’s 14.37 s — a margin of 0.68 s. To 60 mph the Subaru WRX STI takes 5.27 s and the Toyota GR86 6.01 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 Toyota GR86 or the Subaru WRX STI faster?
The Subaru WRX STI. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.69 s to the Toyota GR86's 14.37 s, a margin of 0.68 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.27 s against 6.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Toyota GR86 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR86 reaches 60 mph in 6.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.37 s at 98.3 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Toyota GR86 trips the lights at 98.3 mph and the Subaru WRX STI at 101.6 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 — 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR86 and 9 of 10 for the Subaru WRX STI. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
