It could be the fuel pump you should check it and make sure.
It definitely sounds like a fuel problem, the first thing I would do is change the fuel filter .

The fastest factory stock Pontiac ever built was the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.65 seconds at 113.7 mph.
The battery only handles the starting part, after that it is up to the ecm. You could have a problem with fuel delivery, air intake, or ignition. You will need to eliminate them one by one until you find what is causing it to die.
We are having the same problem with my daughters 1999 sunfire, it turns over runs 2 seconds , it appears to be anti theft device ,if you wait ten minutes and try it again it will start,but not sure on how to disable the device , no help as yet,but after 10 minutes it re-sets itself and will start, if that is your problem .

6 seconds or a little less.
A problem with the fuel system. I'm assuming the fuel pump or carburetor/fuel injectors. I had a 1987 Pontiac Firebird that would sputter for a few seconds when you pressed on the gas pedal. Never got it checked though but I assume that would be the problem.
