We also have Dave Wild, who had an 11-second Buick GS (3800SC) that looked *completely* stock. He's building a turbo motor for it now for the 10's and possibly 9's. Great engines with massive potential (hell, they used them with a turbo in the GNX!)

Any details on the N/A car? Our 3.8L Regal can't hold a candle the intrigue with the 3.5L that it replaced.

I am really intrigued by doing one up right, but my wife has decided she wants a wagon, so I think I'll be getting my 850 T5 sedan back. I'll be concentrating on that instead of getting a new car.

Still, a 12 second Park Avenue...

A real CAI (and removed headlight when drag racing) that was homemade, JY 3500 stall converter, shift kit, tuner (nice one, dyno tuned), small cam, cat-back.
