Bought this in 2004 as a business car. Put 100k+ business miles on it with mild modifications to the N/A setup. Over the years I have learned it is much easier to stay out of trouble with "sleepers". So, in 06 I decided to try and turbocharge the buick. Just like the GN, the 3800 S2 seems to respond very well to turbocharging.
It looks just like a grandma's car,...until you step on the gas. Then,..suprise!
Still have not run high boost on street or track yet.
Leather, Power seats, hmm,..lots of extra heavy metal.
A couple of small super " 6 " decals to pique curiosity. A few small dents, many scratches and a "AAA" bumper sticker. HA! They never see it coming.
Hidden boost gauge and AFR gauge.
