About the Firebird 3.4 V6

The 1994 Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,553 kg with 146 bhp, which works out at 94 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 94 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.08 s. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,865th quickest to 60 mph, and the 11th quickest of the 11 Pontiacs here. Its 83.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Firebird 3.4 V6 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
