Pontiac Fiero GT

The Pontiac Fiero GT reaches 60 mph in 8.54 s (100 km/h in 8.97 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.48 s, tripping the lights at 87.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s and the eighth mile in 10.85 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Fiero GT

The 1984 Pontiac Fiero GT is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,225 kg with 139 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 114 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.83 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,570th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 87.9 mph, the 5,950th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Pontiac Fiero GT 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Fiero GT reaches 60 mph in 8.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,570th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Fiero GT quarter mile time?
16.48 s at 87.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Fiero GT have?
139 bhp and 1,225 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 202 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Fiero GT?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Beta Montecarlo 2.0 120 (8.47 s), Lancia Beta Coupe 2.0 115 (8.65 s), MG F 1.8i 120 (8.38 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Fiero GT in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Pontiac Fiero GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
