Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6

The Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 reaches 60 mph in 9.88 s (100 km/h in 10.40 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.46 s, tripping the lights at 83.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.08 s and the eighth mile in 11.57 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 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,925th quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.8 mph, the 7,952nd 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.

Questions

What is the Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 reaches 60 mph in 9.88 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,925th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 quarter mile time?
17.46 s at 83.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.57 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.08 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 have?
146 bhp and 1,553 kg, which is 94 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 207 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac BLS 1.9 D 150 (9.88 s), Skoda Octavia I 2.0 116 (9.85 s), Honda Accord CC7 2.0i 116 (9.85 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 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 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
