Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203

The Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 reaches 60 mph in 7.70 s (100 km/h in 8.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.24 s, tripping the lights at 86.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s and the eighth mile in 10.59 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 Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203

The 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,610 kg with 200 bhp, which works out at 124 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.83 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,936th quickest to 60 mph, and the 15th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 86.7 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 reaches 60 mph in 7.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,936th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 quarter mile time?
16.24 s at 86.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.59 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 Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 have?
200 bhp and 1,610 kg, which is 124 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 174 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Camry 2.5 160 (7.70 s), Alfa Romeo GT 2.0 JTS 165 (7.70 s), Volvo S90 3.0 180 (7.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 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 Grand Prix 3.8 V6 203 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
