subcook's 1999 Buick Regal
Probably the only 97-04 Regal with subtle painted racing stripes!
About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this brand new when I was 25. I think I cut the age of the average buyer in half when I did (they only sold Buicks at the time). This was my first NEW car. I've put almost every mile on this car myself. In January 2007 I bought my dream car...a 2002 Corvette Z06...I still love the Regal more for some strange reason. It has been a great car...and if the drivetrain ever does die...I want to swap in the drivetrain of a 05-06 GTO and make it RWD.

New PB @ the track
Ran a 13.77 with a pathetic 2.319 60'. Temps were around 50*F & I just couldn't get traction with my street tires. It's got a 13.4 in her if I can get back to a 2.0 60'!

Added intercooler & 42.5# injectors
Bought a used 3" W-body store intercooler and with the help of some fellow New England w-body owners, got it installed in a day. I am now able to run a 3" pulley when running race gas and can run my 3.4" without knock all day long on 93.
