Default Got shocked bad

I got shocked by a modified supercharged...REGAL!!!!!!

I was f'ing shocked, I couldn't believe the kid wanted to go but I noticed the supercharger logo on his trunk right before we split lanes at the light.

We took off from the light, he got me off the line - I pulled up to his front bumper and we stayed like that up to 65. It was pretty funny!!! Never expected it!

I asked him at the next light what was done to it and he said about $500 in mods and that was the end of it.

I ran one of those with a friend in the car. He and I were both amazed. Much like you, it was way faster than I thought it would be. I maybe put a car on him.

I think that engine has been in a plethoria of cars from GM. Pretty stout little engine.

Dude, it's a turbo car. 3.8L V6 with a turbo on it. . . Called a Buick T-Type. Was probably black right?? Could've been maroon, blue, or silver (HOT car) too. They're quick stock, and I've seen modified street cars running 9s.

dude you're so oldschool....

Regal GS. My parent's used to have one, now my sister owns it. Supercharged 3800 series 2 (iirc).

Also found in: Bonneville SSEi, Park Avenue Ultra, Olds 98 (I think), Grand Prix GTP, and possibly some others.

Yes. A pulley and chip and they can spank a stock 5.0.

I always liked those regals, Very very nice cars...I love the dual tone black/grey with the rims. I had my *** handed to me easily by one about a year ago...didn't know it was supercharged....

I was in 4th at 90 mph with the pedal on the floor and he walked right on by me...i saw the supercharged on the trunk and thought...damn...thats why.
