Performance Highlights

Turbocharged & Supercharged Models

Some of the most exciting W-body cars were the turbocharged and supercharged variants, which offered impressive performance for their time. For example:

• The 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo could achieve 0-60 mph in around 6.5 seconds.
• The supercharged 3.8L V6 in the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and Buick Regal GS was capable of 0-60 mph in approximately 6.6 seconds and ¼-mile times under 15 seconds.

V8 Power in Later Models

In the 2000s, GM introduced V8 engines in the W-body lineup, which significantly increased performance:

• The 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP and 2006-2009 Chevrolet Impala SS, both powered by 5.3L V8 engines, could accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 5.7 to 5.8 seconds, with ¼-mile times around 14.0 seconds.

What Affects Track Times?

While the numbers listed are based on factory or professional tests, it’s important to note that actual performance may vary due to factors such as:

• Vehicle condition (engine, transmission, and tires)
• Modifications (performance upgrades)
• Track conditions (weather, altitude)
• Driver skill and experience

Why Track Times Matter

For W-body enthusiasts, track times are not just about bragging rights; they’re a way to gauge the performance potential of your vehicle, compare models, and assess how various modifications or upgrades can affect acceleration. Whether you’re interested in quarter-mile drag racing or improving your daily driving performance, understanding your car’s capabilities is key.
