This car is proof that you don't need the best looking car or an extremely fast car as long as it's clean it has my respect, I never would have expected to like this car but it's amazing how some wheels, suspension, and some clean paint can make any car look fantastic. Not to mention it has 400HP!

About 50 people have sent me this video. Thanks for the shoutout. Believe it or not Bo’s car is pretty mild. Mine makes 800+ with not much else. Stock bottom end. Engines are very tough to kill.

We still have our 2003 GS that now my son drives back and forth to school. Ported supercharger, ZZP Headers, high ratio rockers, 3.3 pulley making about 320 hp when it has the performance tune and high octane gas. Detuned, makes 290 all day long, and averaged 27.5 mpg driving 80 plus, for two days on a trip to Florida. Now has 187,000 miles and doesn't burn a drop.I love the car too much to part with it. Plus when I drive it, its fun to roll past people who think its a slow beater.

Miss my 3800 every day. I had a 2dr GP and it went like hell! So much faster and built so much better quality and a lot stronger than my now Challenger, no joke! Glad to see there's still some 3800s around!

I love that people are starting to discover this generation GS. They were amazing cars and for the era they flew . Then the folks that upgraded them man did they have something special. That 3800 was bullet proof !!!!!!

What do you guys think of this Buick? Side note my mini documentary comes out Sunday - Car Culture:2012 vs 2022.

I absolutely love the Buick Regal GS. I miss my 02 Regal GS. The only downside about them is the transmission can't handle the amount the torque they put out. The 3800 V6 is bulletproof.

My dad drove one of these when I was in high school - it was the car I learned to drive on and took my drivers test on the day I turned 16. My parents brought both cars so I could drive home on my own, in the Regal. At the exit of the licensing place, making sure my dad was following directly behind me in my rearview mirror, I turned off traction control and laid a big smoky burnout. I looked back and saw my dad nervously chuckling, maybe a biiit upset. But that was a fun car. Quickest sedan to 60 when it was new at 6.4 seconds. Fun times were had in that Buick.

Fun fact: Those "luxury" seats are actually from an 05-08 grand prix gxp. Love the video!

This is the cleanest Buick I've ever seen. The aesthetic and the mods are just perfect.

I remember when these were new on the lots - not many were produced with the supercharger, but mainly with the NA v6. Nice to see someone keep one on the road and have some mods thrown at it.

2003 Regal GS Joseph Abboud edition was the first nice car I ever owned. Prior to that I had a 93 SHO I purchased for $250 that was all rotted out and the guy who sold it to me stripped out the sub and amp that came stock. The SHO was quick and a little peppier but that Regal was special. I wanted to get a mercury marauder but the prices were insane. When my SHO died and I was shopping for a car in 2007. A 2002 Marauder with 100k miles on it was going for about $15k. I was able to get my mint special edition Regal with only 13k miles on it for $10k. That car was special. The only mods I did were full exhaust, smaller super charger pulley, some intake work and tune. The look on 350z and mustang owners faces was so gratifying when they got left in the dust by the grandpa mobile. They would laugh at me when we lined up and would have an utter look of confusion on their faces when they shifted into second and I rocketed away. The gears were sooooo ridiculously long but that was part of it's charm. You couldn't floor it before 40mph or the tires would break loose but once you had traction it just pulled forever. No pesky gear changes necessary. It used to be able to run the quarter mile without shifting out of second.... I'm sorry if anyone actually read all this as there is no point aside from the fact that it was an extremely special car. The turbo swap wasn't necessary and I remember the guys who did it were disappointed. The same amount of money for the turbo setup could be spent elsewhere with much higher gains. I miss that car so much. She took all the abuse I could throw at her without an issue. It was the sitting that killed it. She needed to be driven and I failed her. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently.

Builds like these are why I watch channels like TDIB and Roads Untraveled. Unique unique unique.

Bo's Regal has been a fan favorite of ours for a while. Glad you enjoyed the ride!

This is absolutely one of the best 6 cylinders ever made. I've known people to get 800+ hp. Out of these 6 cylinders. They are also very much the torque monsters of the v6 world.

Also am I the only one who was so worried about the 4t65e every time David hit the gas? 😂😂

That car is sick. Cool build. I had a 2000 Pontiac GTP years back with a cam, pulley, etc… and that thing was a serious sleeper.

Also, I will NEVER forget that Sleepers video. That's what first got me interested in the L67 3.8L V6. One of my first cars was a 1989 Chevy Beretta GT with a 2.8 garbage V6 that had blown head gaskets, and I REALLY wanted to swap in a supercharged L67, but I was 15 years old and didn't have any money. I grew up to become a car detailer for multiple dealerships (as I moved alot), and one of them was Ron Slivka Buick in Brandon, Florida (REAL close to Tampa). I drove many GS Buicks and Rivieras, so I grew to really love the L67. This was back in 1999 or 2000. I REALLY wanted to swap the 2.8 out of my Beretta for a L67 and turbocharge it eventually, but I never got the chance to due to me being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and being given 90 days to live. Obviously I outlived that estimate, but I have always still been left with the hunger. Right now I am on my 69th vehicle since then and I have a 1997 EJ8 Honda Civic coupe with a fully built LSVTEC turbo that makes 709 whp, and I also have a 2004 Acura TL that I am currently turbocharging, so that'll be fun too, with a six speed manual swap. Something has always drawn me back to these L67 swaps though...

The Pontiac Bonneville back in 88 with the 3800 was nothing to be messed with. It had its issues with the egr system, however, it always set you in your seat when you rodded on it.
