Questions

Is the Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 or the Skoda Octavia 1.4 80 faster?
The Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.96 s to the Skoda Octavia 1.4 80's 19.48 s, a margin of 1.52 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s against 13.05 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.96 s at 79.4 mph.
What is the Skoda Octavia 1.4 80 0-60 time?
The Skoda Octavia 1.4 80 reaches 60 mph in 13.05 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.48 s at 73.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 trips the lights at 79.4 mph and the Skoda Octavia 1.4 80 at 73.1 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 Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 and 2 of 2 for the Skoda Octavia 1.4 80. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
