What is the Pontiac G5’s top speed?

My friend wants to buy a Pontiac G5, but I think they might be kind of slow by modern standards. How fast can the G5 go?

It’s great that you’re helping your friend get all the facts before they buy. The
Pontiac G5
has a top speed of about 122 MPH. However, many Pontiac models were equipped with a speed limiter, so it’s possible that a used G5 will have a device limiting the top speed to 110 MPH.
This means that the G5 is up to modern standards in terms of speed. Where the G5 suffers, however, is acceleration time—it takes the G5 7.6 seconds to go from 0 to 60 MPH, meaning it could take a while to reach the car’s top speed. If your friend wants a fast car, this might be good information to know.
Regardless of the type of car you own, however, it’s important to have a good
car insurance
policy to protect your vehicle. Check out the
