Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175

The Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 reaches 60 mph in 9.67 s (100 km/h in 10.22 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.66 s, tripping the lights at 81.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.12 s and the eighth mile in 11.61 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 Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175

The 1990 Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,723 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 100 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.12 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 9,584th quickest to 60 mph, and the 22nd quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 81.5 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 Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 reaches 60 mph in 9.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,584th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 quarter mile time?
17.66 s at 81.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.12 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 have?
173 bhp and 1,723 kg, which is 100 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 173 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Space Runner 1.8 122 (9.60 s), Fiat Sedici 1.6 16V 120 (9.71 s), Mazda Tribute 2.3 154 (9.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 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 Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
