Pontiac Solstice GXP

The Pontiac Solstice GXP reaches 60 mph in 5.03 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.73 s, tripping the lights at 99.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s and the eighth mile in 8.81 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 Solstice GXP

The 2006 Pontiac Solstice GXP is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,337 kg with 260 bhp, which works out at 195 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 195 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.10 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,408th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 11 Pontiacs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 99.8 mph at the lights is only the 1,751st highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Solstice GXP is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
