Wow, epic! Your video quality has really come a long way in a short time. Great job.
Haha thanks for the footage and pilot time. 👍
One of the guys in my car group has a Regal GS and I seriously love that car. He has a few mods done to it and he can keep up with my Audi S5 on a rolling start. Such an unsuspecting car. Gave me quite the surprise when we first raced lol
They're very cool. Always fun to run a quick little sleeper against someone who doesn't see it coming haha. Thank you for commenting and watching.👍
I had a 98 Trans Am non WS6 with the 6 speed. Back in 2003. Fun times in that thing.
Great car.
That pontiac kept jumping early until the last 30 roll then we got to see what the cars did at a fair equal launch and it made since to see that buick just pull and pull and pull.
U calling me a cheater?! Lol.
Of course not everybody's a winner when its GM vs GM anyways ide rather see a GM car get beat buy another rather than a ford lol, I've seen alot of angry mustang drivers getting beat buy those sleeper buicks on other videos.
@@buddyreporton4111 lol ya it was a fun race. I hope to get it a different matchup soon.
The Pontiac had to get the jump. It needed an advantage.
I leave on the light. Not after. 🏁
That firehawk was no joke for being stock. I thought for sure grandpa's sleeper would have taken it.
They are super close. I think whoever gets the jump takes it! Don't sleep on grandpa's car! 😂
@@605BOLT no kidding. I used to race my GTP years and years back. I didn't know ZZP was still around.
Firehawks have never been anything to scoff at. Always been a very nicely packaged car
I have a pretty much full bolt on ST and just bought an 04’ LeSabre with the 3.8. I know how fast my ST is... I’m blown away with that Regal!! Holy smokes!
It was a great race. Sounds like u have a rowdy little fleet on your hands!! Great cars. Hope to get more footage of them soon!
@@605BOLT Thank you! No freaking way! I just read the mod list of that ST. That thing would put the hurt on almost everything on the road! That Regal GS of yours is no joke!!
It's had some time and money put in!
Great shots of our area of rural South Dakota!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice runs! Makes me miss my 04 gtp!
Ya they're cool cars for sure. Wish they made them still today. 👍👍
@@605BOLT hell yea. That supercharged v6 is a gem!
@@Emilthehun love the blower sounds it makes.
I wish I had a go pro recording a 2013 golf r with a big turbo chasing me in my gtp comp g. He was much faster but severely underestimated my car. He let me get ahead on the on-ramp and then could not catch up to me in moderate traffic. As I was getting off my exit, he angrily was weaving in out of cars lol
That would be great to see. These cars have some people punching air.
@@605BOLT I think people just don't expect much from these cars. They probably think it's a N/A V6 or some slow gm car with a jimmy rigged supercharger. I was letting an Evo X merge about a month ago on the highway while me being in cruise control. He stayed at my speed right next to me in the slow lane for a good 20 seconds before I finally punched it to get past him. We were close up till 90 with me being ahead because I took the hit. (I honestly just wanted to get past him because I hate other cars beside me on the highway) He then let off after that. Not sure if he got scared he would lose or his check engine light came on. (being an Evo lol) Regardless, he did not expect me to even come close to competing with him.
@@Llggd haha nice. Ya they're fun cars and relatively cheap for the power level. They have a great following of enthusiasts too.
The drone shots are on point 👍
Thanks man! I thought they were super cool too. My buddy was the pilot.
I have a retired 99 Park Ave Ultra, the blend door system for the a/c is toasted. AC leaks like a funnel I keep it just for the motor and discount on insurance. Car has north of 357,000 miles on it. I would like to transplant the 3800 supercharge into something nuts like a Vega. Motor still healthy as ever, does not use oil.
Can't beat an older Buick. Great cars!
GS needs better rubber to help get it out of that hole
For sure. It's rocking some all seasons.
Really nicely produced video.
We had some fun with it. I like making videos like this that have a little more creativity to them. Glad you liked it and thanks for commenting!!
It’s Ironic How The Way People Felt About This Car When It Was New Is The Same Way People Felt About The First Grand National In The 80s. These Are Gonna Be One Of Those Cars That Shoot Up In Value As Soon As There Aren’t A Lot Of Them Left On The Road.
They are very cool. Not a lot of people know about them.
Exactly and you can still get one around 50,000 miles cheap I'm about to find 2 supercharged buicks extremely low miles and just preserve one in my garage no joke in the next 1 to two decades people will be collecting gs supercharged regals, the gmc cyclone, and typhoon were others that sky rocketed.
@@buddyreporton4111 haha nice. Never too early to get a good position on the collectors.
regal needs a torque converter and some new rubber and he'll be FLYING I'd keep the firehawk stock IMO, clean unmodded 4th gen fbodys are going to sky rocket in value once GM kills the Camaro again in 2023.
New rubber for sure. Just blows those all seasons away. A converter would help some too but it's a daily so I kind of doubt he will take it that far. That car makes some great low end torque for what it is. Just can't hardly use it with the tires and being FWD. I want to get more vids of it soon. 🤞🤞
Love that Firehawk. Such a cool piece of 2001! Ya i think you might be into something with values going up. It has gotten crazy lately.
Man I would disagree. C5Z I have been around and getting an engine out of that thing sucks because of the torque tube not being able to slide back enough to get off the clutch. Would much rather drop a k member on a firebird to pull an engine than do the same on a Corvette. To each their own though. Both are badass rides.
Had a GTP with ZZP stuff when I was younger, great cars. Any F-body just needs some boost and top end mods and easy 700whp car heh. Good camera angles, nice vid.
Thanks for saying that Ruku. I'd love to kind of update this video again. Maybe some different matchups but the same players for sure. Fun cars!
Damn regal needs a driver mod
I agree lol. I'll tell him you said that.
@@605BOLT his reaction times are slower than cold molasses dripping off a frozen tree in the Antarctic.
@@thegreendoormx4441 😂😂😂
@@605BOLT lol I'm high, bro. Sorry. Lol.
But yeah, amazing what those 3800 Series ll can do when given enough ZZP parts. Build the trans, higher stall converter so the car can leave in boost, and toss a good number of ZZP parts at the engine and tune, and he'd be walking quite a few other "fast" vehicles alot easier.
Talking outta my booty, 🤔
Nope.
When I was in my late 20s, I'm 40 now, my car at the time broke down (92 sc300/5sp), and I didn't have the money to fix it. So, I sold it for $3000 and bought a 98 GTP coupe w/ sunroof.
Within the first 10 seconds of owning the car, Id found the TC Off button. 😈.
3 seconds later I'd found out that that V6 could move like a motherfucker 😍. Left dual black stripes on the pavement until the trans shifted, and it STILL chirped the hell outta them on THAT shift.
Stock. I'd also started from a standing turn. But yeah, it'd smoke the hell outta the front tires whenever I smashed the Pedal.
Car felt solid too. And the black leather was mmmmm mmmm soooo good, brother. The stereo too kicked ass.
Anyway, learned that ZZP made go fast parts for it. Saw the prices, almost shit my draw'rs, but saved the pennies from uncle Sam for that year, yup I was broke so I got an income tax lol, and spent that tax payer money on upgraded supercharger, cams, injectors, tune, another tune, blah blah blah.
Nitto nt555r (yup I'm old enough to remember when these bitches were considered good lol) and low tire pressure, and from a star t or a roll, that smooth looking coupe would beat the dog shit outta trans ams, z28s, ls1s mind you, and all sorts of imports. And it still had ac, a sick stereo system, and those nice factory 5 spoke rims. Lowered her a little with eibach springs. That's all.
Sold it after 1 year of "oooooh-weee" fun.
Lolol. Good shit buddy. I will send this comment to my friend. Love hearing about modded sleepers!!
Fire hawk goes on 2 1/5 honks he afraid to lose to the 4 door 😂
If you're racing me and you go on three, you're late. 😂
That’s It! I’m Subscribing!💪🏽
Thank you for subbing! I plan on getting more regal vids in the future. If you have any ideas, drop them in the comments and I'll see what I can do. 👍👍
Two Buick V6's against each other
Haha no not quite. That Firehawk is an LS1. But you're right some firebirds had 3800 V6s.
I’ll sub bro why not good video
🙏 Appreciate you. Glad you liked it! I need to get out and do a remake with some different matchups this summer!
I just came across this video at random, but really enjoyed watching it. The setting is beautiful, and your camera work and editing are excellent. Great job!
Thanks man!!! Very thankful for that. Still kind of new to it but some of the drone footage is just spectacular I thought. 👍👍
Nice runs
Ya it was fun. Can't wait to get the drone out again!!
The regal is definitely the ultimate sleeper 👑
For sure. Fun cars!
I love my regal and glad Im not the only one who knows what potential they really have
@@RobsAutoRestoration88 ya buddy. Anything factory supercharged is cool.
What kind of specs is that thing putting out? He seems to have you off the line but you catch up half way through.
Idk firm numbers on the regal. The Firehawk is bone stock. The regal had lots of nice mods so it pulls pretty good like you say. Once it gets traction it moves pretty good. Both of the cars are my buddy Joe's cars. The regal is his daily and the Firehawk is the date car. Both fun in their own way.
92 was the first year for Firehawk & highly collectible
It is very cool. I love the wheels on it.
What you do to stop the regal from shutting down
I'm not sure what you mean.
I love the color paint on the ST
I do too. Hot pepper red. Great color.
I'm all about that Buick Regal.
It's a really fun car.
Buick need stiffer rear shocks if it's gonna continue racing. Reduce the squat and keep power upfront were it's needed
Ya it needs some soft, sticky tires too. That supercharged engine makes a good amount of torque so it's hard to launch well.
I'd be dead curious to see how the GS would do if it had a modern 8 or 10 speed automatic
Oh it would fly I bet. Nice thing is it has a flat powerband so it doesn't suffer as much from few forward gears as some rigs do. But it wouldn't hurt!!!
If u have base model regal whats best moves for it? Turbo kit, pulley, and a tune?
I don't know for sure as I didn't build this regal. It's my buddies car. If I was you, I would save some coin and wait around for a clean regal or grand prix gtp or something and buy that when I can. Then start nodding from there.
@@605BOLT i mean all of the regals have that 3800 engine is basically what i meant..? Its just the gs and the gsx come super charged? Because i have an old high school friend with one just sitting perfect condition interior etc well kept car. Its just idk if its the gs but i believe it’s the base model. I dont mind buying it dirt cheap and then spending 2-5k for a supercharger or turbo kit. Then again i heard after 180k original miles u have to buy that big ol tranny too so. Got some research to do this week.
I see. Ya I don't know if those 3800 engines are the exact same on the base models vs the GS/X. They might be. If its a clean car, I'm always in favor of grabbing one of those. Hard to find in good condition. I don't know what the swap would cost you. For example though, SVT Lightning pickups and regular F150 pickups can have 5.4L V8s in them from Ford. You can just throw a swap onto the regular F150 but the Lightning 5.4 has different pistons in it. Its lowers compression and they aren't a high quality piston (sadly) but it is a difference. I can't speak on the slight differences between a supercharged 3800 and base 3800 (if any). Maybe they are the exact same. I just don't know. The swap kit to take off a Lightning usually runs around 2500-3000 dollars so I would expect the cost to be similar on a 3800.
The L36 (your engine) and the L67 (GS engine) pretty much only share the block and maybe crankshaft in common. Different heads, cams, pistons, rods, essentially anything that gives the 3800 its great reputation is on the L67. Transmission is different too, the GS has stronger axles, a stronger differential, and said differential is a shorter gear ratio. To be completely honest, trying to build a base model Regal is pointless when a GS, Grand Prix GT, Impala SS, or anything else with an L67 can be found for about the same as a base model in the used market.
@@y33sean thanks for filling in. I assumed there were differences. They're great cars. Hopefully he will find that information handy.
Camera work is impressive
Ya the drone work always makes a video cool. Appreciate you commenting! I want to remake this video soon.
Sleeper Gang!
Ya buddy! They're great cars!
Front wheel drive cars lift up in front causing excessive wheelspin. Rear wheel drive have the advantage bc the weight transfers to the rear
That's true. Always a struggle with a front wheel drive.
All the buick needs was tires. Mine destroys first and rips second for another 20ft. 06 gp gt.
What tires are any good for it? What do you have for tires?
Who repainted the front of that firehawk?
It's had some work done many years ago.
@@605BOLT Still love them. Awesome cars. The GS although not as cool is still very good looking
@@EGGINFOOLS ya and my buddy owns them both. Nice collection for sure.
When was the Firehawk wrecked?
Many years ago. Previous to 2009 when my buddy bought it.
Nice jump in the ta.
On time isn't a jump. 😎
Guy in the Firehawk cant race for shit 🤣🤣Keeps jumping the gun
Guy in the Firehawk here... Leave on the light. Not after. I'd probably drag your ass too! 😬🤣
@@605BOLT What light? 🤣 you mean the honk?🤣That says it all..
Says you'd be late.
Love the video but damn your guys reaction times are horrible lol
Lol. See I was driving the Firehawk and people have been roasting me for jumping. Whereas I'm with you in saying I left on time and the Buick left late. 😂 It's all perspective I guess haha
I'm glad you liked the video though. 👍 It was fun to make.
If he doesn’t have it the 1 inch chain and gtp gear would wake the gs up even more
What are those mods? Never heard of them before. 1 inch chain? Gtp gear? Do you have a link?
605BOLT www.milzymotorsports.com/mms-1-high-performance-gear-set-for-4t65e-transmissions/
Interesting. Pretty sure it's a bone stock trans. What does that part do? I'm a noob when it comes to these cars.
605BOLT it’s a stronger chain and just a gear ratio change
@@Boosted_zay oh I see. That would be badass. Are they known for breaking these chains then?
Simple mods on the regal will wake it up.
Ya he has a pretty extensive mods list already. The thing is fun to drive!! Mods are in the description.
Regal GS is king sleepy.
Theyre awesome cars!!
You in Sioux Falls?
No. Yankton. 👍
Guy in Buick sleeping at
Launch
Hahaha. I will tell him you said that.
Nice video👌how does that regal like the E85 in the cold mornings? Check out my videos im making close to 400whp but I left 50whp on the table by not running E85🙄
I will ask him how it starts and check out your vids. Just saw this.
@@605BOLT 😎
Is the Buick driver a little "slow" or the Pontiac driver is "pre-mature"?
Both!!!!!🤣
get a cam in that regal and watch it eat. Also get a zzp gen 2.5 intercooler
Those would be some nice pieces for sure.
And a drag transmission
Oof that would be spendy.
i must know your air intake setup on your regal i want something like that haha.
It's my buddies car but I think it's some sort of fender well setup.
@@605BOLT does he have any social media? like FB or IG? maybe he still may know his setup
facebook.com/joe.christensen.92?mibextid=ZbWKwL
Buick needs driver mod lol 😂😂😂reaction time is bad ❤
I agree!!
Yeah that Regal with all the mods vs a stock Firehawk should’ve smoked him……..bad
Firehawk is no turd though. They're decent for their age.
The "firehawk" jumped each time, learn to launch that buick and itll eat that firebird alive
Why do you say "firehawk" in quotes?
@@605BOLT i thought it was some weird nickname for the car haha, i had no clue it was actually an slp factory tuned firebird.
@@aw294man ha. No worries buddy. They are pretty rare I think. If you have any ideas of vids to do with the car let me know. It's a fun car for sure. 👍👍
Idk about that jumping either. I'm thinking the regal was sleeping lol
Those dig races had horrible reactions. Cool video, but practice with a practice tree.
Ya they were fun runs. I was driving the Firehawk. Dusted him at the line haha.
@@605BOLT what was the horsepower rating on that LS motor?
@@fastfordman1965 about 335 I think.
Nice runs. My 98 gs is stock about to hit 70k. Thinking of doing exshaust and intake. Biggest issue I've had with these cars they are missing two gears for real ra img.i daily drive mine, and rolling not many mini cooper,honda etc can go. Even had a little mercedes sedan get embarassed.
Ya they could use some more gears. But they are fun when they are modded. U should definitely put those parts on and see how it responds. 👍👍
That Ford and that Pontiac need to run against my 420 hp 2003 Regal GSX.
Ya they would probably get dusted. These aren't the fastest cars ever but they're surprisingly quick for what they are.
So......it took a heavily modded ST to beat the GS......?
It took a heavily modded ST to beat a heavily modded GS. They're basically both modded the same amount the way I see it. One has a blower swap and another has a turbo swap.
You guys are so mad cuz he had bad starts
He is BIG mad. 😂
