Buddy of mine with a GS runs a high 13.. Saw a GTP take an 03 Cobra all the way until the end of the 1/4 mile tonight.. Those motors do have potential, but unfortunately if it doesn't come with the S/C, I'd personally leave it stock and just drive it..

There are naturally aspirated 3800's in the 13's and many more in the 14's, but I will repeat what others said: if performance was a consideration, the GS should have been purchased.

Stock it would have already been in the 14's, and with a few mods the 13's. I actually considered purchasing a GS for a while, because they're basically GTP's but half as cheap. However I'm not a big fan of the universal Buick Century look in all of their models.

Props to yourfor your choice, though, as I'm sure it wasn't made lightly. Me personally, CSVT is a dream car for someone my age and I wouldn't have traded it for anything short of a Cobra!

That's a nice classy ride, which is faster than a SVT, more luxurious, way more reliable, and an endless canidate for mods.

The first part of that is NO, but the rest of the comments are true, especially the motor and if any of you say otherwise, your nutz The Buick 3800 V6 is one of the most reliable engines GM has ever made, right next to the small block Chevrolet. As far as mods go, well, they do have N/A 3800's into the 13's, but your going well into the motor to do that and its BIG $$$$ The only thing I question Chad is you didn't get a GS Anyways, make sure you come on by with that car, I want to check it out

Clear Headlights
GM of China rear tailight assembly for theior Buick Regal(I'll post a pic of what it looks like later, kinda looks like the rear of a 98 caterra.)
Flip up touchcreen indash monitor (no speakers though, it has the Monsoon audio.)
And side rain guard.
Maybe the optioanl spoiler, too.


I will put the supercharger in the car, but probably not til my warranty is up. (in the end of 2005.)

I didn't get the GS because, one.. I got an awesome dea on this one. And two, it basically is the GS.. minus supercharger. ITs got all the options a GS has, suspension, interior, the wheels, etc... But, even if it was a GS, you wouldnt know cause the car will be debadged, anyways . I'll bring it by soon Roger, you can "light em up", grandpa style.
