Questions

Is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 or the Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130 faster?
The Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.86 s to the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95's 17.45 s, a margin of 0.59 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.95 s against 9.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.45 s at 78.8 mph.
What is the Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130 0-60 time?
The Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.95 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.86 s at 83.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 trips the lights at 78.8 mph and the Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130 at 83.1 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 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 and 2 of 2 for the Opel Astra 5dr 1.2 130. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
