Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400

The Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 reaches 60 mph in 4.26 s (100 km/h in 4.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.75 s, tripping the lights at 111.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s and the eighth mile in 8.36 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.00 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 GTO 6.0 V8 400

The 2003 Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,698 kg with 398 bhp, which works out at 235 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 235 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.07 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,357th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 2nd quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 111.9 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 GTO 6.0 V8 400 0-60 time?
The Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 reaches 60 mph in 4.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,357th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 quarter mile time?
12.75 s at 111.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.36 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 have?
398 bhp and 1,698 kg, which is 235 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 274 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400?
Closest here on pace: Holden Monaro 6.0 V8 404 (4.26 s), Chrysler 300 SRT-8 Mk II (4.24 s), Alpina B7 Biturbo Allrad (4.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac GTO 6.0 V8 400 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 GTO 6.0 V8 400 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.
