Got a 98 Buick Regal Gran Sport with the 3.8L, V6 supercharged engine and have shown a Mustang and a Camaro or two the tail lights on a couple of occasions.Only 240 HP but 280 lb ft of torque.Yeh I know its a four door "FAMILY" car but most don't expect it to go as good as it does.Switch the traction control off and smoke the tires throught the intersection.Usually get them at the light as they stair in disbelief.Totally unacceptable behavior for a 46 year old.I'll try not to do it again.

Red,
That Regal GS is a pretty fast car. I've raced against a few of them and other supercharged GMC vehicles (never lost but had very tough dog fights). But I just don't know what planet my buddy is from thinking that his underpowered Bimmer is going to do the job. It would be different if he had the 330 or the M3, but the 325 is a pooch!!

The Buick Gran Sport reminds me of the caption used when they tested the Buick Grand National; "Fast as a speeding bullet and corners like a speeding bullet

Zhooligan,
Are you sure that wasn't the marketing slogan for the Hayabusa? It seems pretty fitting. Gees, I guess that's pretty bad coming from a Hayabusa guy.
