Pontiac G8 GXP

The Pontiac G8 GXP reaches 60 mph in 4.68 s (100 km/h in 4.88 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.99 s, tripping the lights at 110.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s and the eighth mile in 8.47 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.91 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.

About the G8 GXP

The 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,828 kg with 414 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.02 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,837th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 4th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 110.8 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 5 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pontiac G8 GXP 0-60 time?
The Pontiac G8 GXP reaches 60 mph in 4.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,837th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac G8 GXP quarter mile time?
12.99 s at 110.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac G8 GXP have?
414 bhp and 1,828 kg, which is 227 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac G8 GXP?
Closest here on pace: Fpv FG F6 (4.66 s), Panoz Esperante 4.6 V8 320 (4.60 s), Bentley Continental Flying Spur Mk I (4.73 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac G8 GXP 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 G8 GXP is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
