Buick Regal S/C little help.

**Bigrus** · 03-21-2006, 10:26 PM

Anyone ever own one of these or hear anything bad about them? I think i found a nice very clean one for a killer price and would like to know any gremlins before i try to get it. It is going to be a DD so im not going to mod it, would just like a car that will not need parts here and there.

plenty of parts for those g bodies. i have two monte ss es. not hard to find part but for you if the s/c goes is is quit expense.

other wise they is plent of part to go around.

So are you saying it will fall apart easily? I really do not want to be wrenching on it all the time.

no not easy but if you pound on it it will break like anything else. my dads friend had one running 12.2 in the quarter. my point is: if the miles are decent, and you maintain it it will maintain you. plus these cars are so easy to work on. lots of room under the hood. if you need any parts or help finding any let me know i know some guys.

ok, lets try this how many miles? and what rear end? also are there any mods done? or have been done that you know of? then will go from there. the exhausts are know to go. just not made very well.

The supercharged buicks are FWD and i'm 99% sure they are W-Bodies like the Impala and GTP.

I think you are confusing the turbo regals for the S/C regals.

The buick regal went FWD in 1988 and has been FWD since then.

Yes the SC Buick Regals are fwd, they are a pretty nice cars and as long as it was taken care of and things check out ok it would make a great dd. Plus you can do little mods that will improve the performance quite a bit and still be a reliable dd, my brother had 98 GTP that ran a best of 13.7 and definately had 13.5 in it with a better 60 ft, he drove it for 150,000 miles with out any problems and he wasn't easy on it.
