Pontiac GTO 6.0

The Pontiac GTO 6.0 reaches 60 mph in 4.21 s (100 km/h in 4.89 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.91 s, tripping the lights at 110.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s and the eighth mile in 8.35 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.82 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 GTO 6.0

The 2006 Pontiac GTO 6.0 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,668 kg with 394 bhp, which works out at 236 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 236 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.01 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,318th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 110.0 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 4 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pontiac GTO 6.0 0-60 time?
The Pontiac GTO 6.0 reaches 60 mph in 4.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,318th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac GTO 6.0 quarter mile time?
12.91 s at 110.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac GTO 6.0 have?
394 bhp and 1,668 kg, which is 236 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?
Closest here on pace: Hsv Coupe GTO VZ (4.15 s), Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R Mk IV 390 PS (4.13 s), Dodge Challenger SRT-8 392 (4.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac GTO 6.0 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 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 4 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.
