    97' Buick Regal GS vs 11' turbo/6speed Regal

    So my brother just bought a fully loaded, black on black 2011 Buick Regal with the turbocharged 2.0 4cyl and 6speed transmission. Its a very sweet ride, for sure. Wish I could afford a new car in this economy, but I'm doing just fine with my 115k mile 97' Buick Regal GS. Soon after buying it, he...

    Heading back down to the dragstrip

    First, a little history... the car is a 100% bone stock 97' Buick Regal GS with about 117k on the clock. I ran the car back in early May and went 14.54 at 94.xx mph with absolutely no tuning, weight reduction, or modding whatsoever. Back then, temps were in the low 70s or so with the humidity...

    Round 2 for the Regal at the dragstrip on 5/21

    Originally, I was supposed to run my 97' Regal GS at my local track against my friends 97' 2.4L Olds Achieva. However, my friend chickened out at the last minute and didn't show up. I still ran the Buick and came away with a 14.54 at 94.44mph. Not too bad for a 100% bone stock car with 115k...

    Wanting to build a boosted 4thgen 3.8... which to use?

    So, after working on my 97' Regal GS (and having some prior experience with modding a hotair 85' GN), the 3.8 bug has bit me hard. While the Buick is fun, I feel the FWD platform is limited (that, and I love to drive stick). So I'm looking for a 4thgen F-body to do the RWD/3.8 boosted thing...

    Autolite copper 104s... what gap?

    Planning on doing a plug/wire swap this weekend. Did some light research, and from what I gathered, the autolite copper 104s are the way to go for stock - bolton cars. Since these plugs are a bit colder than stock, do I need to close the gap from the factory spec of 0.060? If so, what gap...
