Yes, line up and drool with envy. I own a 2002 Buick Regal GS. These rare cars were only sold to the select individuals who wanted one (and who couldn't, afford a Camry).

It's got the blown 3.8, pushing a massive 240 (claimed, not dyno'd) HP through the front wheels. Terrific in the wet - 0 to 60 in about 25 seconds.

However, it does eat up road trips (like LA to Vegas or San Fran) with ease; is wonderfully comfortable, and the rear seats fold down for simply mahhhhrvelous practicality :roll: .

It can also beat my wife's WRX off the line, as long as she's not paying attention to the lights and gives me about a 10sec head start.

Hey, what can I say, I love the blown 3.8.

LOL great post, I must say, most if not all Buicks are rubbish and can't do more than go in a straight line, but they are very comfortable for long rides...a purpose built vehicle, sadly not the purpose most of the people here like...hehe :wink:
