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.

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!

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.

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.

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 !!!!!!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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

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.

Just bought my first supercharged 3800, 07 Grand Prix GT. Can confirm, this front wheel drive car is fun to drive, and the weird exhaust sound throws me back to my high school days in the 90's when everyone was rockin' their dad's LeSabre

Prime example of why I still love this channel over the years you have stayed true to what like

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

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

I love everything about this build. Does have a very unique sound to it, and like the rolled fenders

My grandparents had a 2001 Buick Regal LS and the 3800 series 2 in that was surprisingly quick N/A. The right was very comfy too, I always wanted to drive a GS, that extra 40hp and 80tq would have made quite the difference.

About 10 years ago these and their series 2 3800 sc siblings were some of the most fun on a budget you could get.

The Boost Moose! Bo's Regal is an absolute riot. It was hilarious watching people pull off for home when we were at TOTD. Haha

That is a pretty sweet looking regal, plus it's pretty quick to top it off. I'd definitely drive that ride.

I grew up driving a 90 3.0 and a 93 3.8 Taurus, so the 1st and 2nd gen SHOs were always on my mind. Looking back now, I’d put the Marauder toward the top of my list but would also include the Turbocoupe, Mark VIII, and Mazdaspeed6.

For a moment, I thought the thumbnail said 400hp Turbo Brick and had a good laugh. That said, this Regal is something else and I'm here for it.

I had my regal for 5 years. same color as this one. It was my baby. Borla exhaust, smaller pulley, and a bunch of other mods done to it over the years. I wrecked it back in june, but i miss that car to this day. Great to see a regal on this channel.

Glad to see these old boats getting some love❤️ I have a soft spot for a lot of old Buick’s

Its great to see not usual cars build up, thanks @ThatDudeinBlue for the content

Dang this is a GEM! 12 sec quarter mile! SSSHHHHEEESSSSHHH! My favorite sleeper is the Mitsubishi Galant VR4.

I love the GS, it was a really quick couch. My neighbor had one in black, and it was the more modern grand national, I know the GNX was badass, but the GS was definitely the definition of a sleeper

Those 3800 supercharged engines are something else. I have an 04 Impala SS with the 3800 supercharged and i has about 150k miles on it. It's worn out, idles up and down, leaks oil from the valve covers, has a coolant leak, but it still runs smooth. Doesn't smoke , knock, or tick. I put a K&N cold air intake on it and it gave it a noticable boost. My trans probably needs a rebuild also but the car is still a beast. That damn angine will out last the body that's for sure.

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.

I love to see this car spark some interest on yt! I bought a '01 GS gold Olympic edition Regal this summer, its my cheap dream car. It was a Florida car for 20yrs so no rust!! I live in Grand Rapids Mich & stopped inside ZZP for an order & this thing was parked out front. My supercharger whine.... So addicting My transmission tho 😅 Ive done my share of beating on it after buying it from a teenager

I used to drive the LS version of this car in college back in the day. That 3.8 v6 engine is extremely an underrated bullet proof engine. So comfortable torquey as hell and easy to drive! Only bad thing was the exterior paint finishes on these cars was trash.

Great video. Love the production. That is some car. Thing is clean as hell. Really well thought out. Oh yeah. That thing flys!

I remember that sleepers video. I've had two Northstar STSs, a 2012 regal GS manual, a Pontiac G8 GT and a Chevy SS. I love sleepers and this is a great video. Do a full series about sleepers!!

I love this build so much. so clean. one of the coolest cars youve reviewed in a while

I had the non GS Regal with the N/A 3800 V6. It was surprisingly quick and had tons of torque down low. This turbo GS is really unique. Great video!

I work right next to ZZP on 28th st and see this car sitting out front all the time. interesting to see it in my recommended it always catches my eye and they always have something cool parked in front.

Love the visual of the crucifix going horizontal on the pulls. Fantastic!

I really like and appreciate builds like this. It's different and unique. Makes me want to do something similar... Buick has always been slept on though hence the name "sleeper".

This is an amazing build. Total respect!

Love the videos man... you should see what we do with these engines in Australia... especially if you think this thing is fast 😉😁

Back in 07 I had a 98 Buick park avenue ultra. It had the 3.8 supercharged V6. The 3800 series II engine is one of my favorite engines.

I have one and I love it. I've actually beaten some WRXs with just exhaust and a mild tune done to my Regal.

I own a 2014 Buick Regal GS as well. They've been under the radar for years. Great cars that no one looks twice at.

It's actually getting really hard to find those supercharged W-Body cars in decent condition. The 3800 sounds similar to the turbo 3.8 in the Grand National. This is on a similar sleeper level as the 80s Buick T-Type, especially the turbo limited which had those pillow back bench seats, column shift and chrome trim but had the Grand National drivetrain.

Finally! A 3800! 😅

This is the kind of builds I like the weirder and more unique the better lol

ZZP is still killing the game. Buying stuff from them, seeing the shop in person amazing memories. My cobaltSS back in the mid-2000s made the same power as this car. ZZP just constantly improved on platforms for cars most wouldn't, and it's why a lot of us on the cobaltss fourms back in the day loved seeing them post and interact with us.

I had this, had a beefed up the Supercharger. Was such a fun car. I was pushing 350+, I loved the whine from the Super 👌

The GXP seats make a huge difference

This is so nice! Super clean! I love it.

Having boost ramped in is probably a hell of an upgrade for transmission life and tire spin.

Thank you David for such great presentation! One of the best V6 engines ever built. Cheap, reasonably lightweight, compact, and highly tunable, ... 😳 My favorite sleeper " Chevy SS , obviously stick (swap SS emblems for Impala emblems)😀

Ah finally u got a Buick Regal on here! I knew about these because when I was 17 my 3td car was a 93 Bonneville SE and my buddy had a 94 Bonneville SSEi wich had the SC V6. This how we knew the Regal GS existed because for some wierd reasons his SSEi would always get taken by a GS. Thanks for another cool video ✌️

That was my EXACT reaction when I saw a black squirrel for the first time!!!! 🤣. What a sick car and awesome video as always.

A friend of mine in college had the supercharged regal. That thing could roll out!

I love Bo’s car. Those look like Grand Prix gxp seats. Awesome platform, owned a GTP comp g myself.

Great video. I love when PPL make their idea come to life no matter what anyone says or thinks

This channel, you dude are frickin awesome. I love to be able to get some education along with a tour of a unique custom built vehicle.

Love uncommon builds like this!

This car is a sleeper for sure

I love ZZPerformance parts, I have CAI and Downpipes on my manual 17' ATS-V and love it! Glad to see it on this Buick Regal GS, sounds and looks great! 👍

Love it I have the 98 same color as yours with the supercharger and a smaller pulley and I can’t imagine swapping it for a turbo 😬🤤😮‍💨 LOVE THE VIDEO

I had a few of these back in the day. The key to unlocking power is getting rid of the u bend in the exhaust. Should be your first mod.

this is super interesting and totally different. the rpf1’s look great on this car.. they look great on everything.

I HAD a 1991 Buick Regal 2dr custom coupe. I liked that car. It rode really nicely, comfortable.

@6:12 You know you're having a blast when your smile spools up just as the turbo does! :D

I did this exact thing in highschool, and it's what started my life as a car guy. Gold 2001 Pontiac grand prix gtp with a 6266 ebay turbo kit and all the juice zzp could put at it. Stock 5 spokes fit 225 m/t without an issue and looked like stock tires so it was troll city considering everything from the outside was stock. Full cloth grey interior that smelled like a cigarette, and I never pulled up with less than 2 people in it. Worked on it with the local good ol boys since it was a small town, but we made sure to pull up at shady side every weekend and troll anything and everything in the parking lot. And we weren't worried about blowing anything, at the time these cars could be had for 250-500$ all day long at the auction, so we would just buy another car if stuff broke on the first. We actually killed a couple regale and Bonnevilles before settling on the grand prix. It was the lightest of the w body cars and it took 5 minutes to strip the interior of one and turn them into dirt slayers. God I miss these things. Now a good example is 5k lmfao.

One of the most underrated sleepers there is. Great video 📹 👍 👏

Yes!! Absolutely!!! That guy started my love for these and ones like it!!!!

My wife currently has one of these, a 2002 that I've asked her to see about doing a couple things to, but all it has is a turbo kit and valve springs? That's impressive

I myself would like to think I drive a "sleeper". It's a 2016 Chevy sonic RS, stage 2. All zzperformance parts. Really fun car around the city. Hope you do a review on one soon, would love to see it. Great content, you're slaying it dude

Man, this makes me miss my Regal GS. My current car is faster but there's just something about a quick sleeper that's also super comfortable and reliable to daily drive.

I had a regal GS several years ago and honestly for what it was stock it was pretty fun to drive. This one here tho, the wheels and the color it looks so goooood…. I love it. If it had a manual swap it would be sick

I think the V6 and turbo gives it the odd sound. I remember my uncle having a cool Supercharged Rivera

My fav is the Saab 9-3, but the SportCombi, which is the wagon. Not the Saabaru. Came turbo and optional 6-speed manual. I two-toned mine, which is black, with charcoal front lip, side skirts and rear bumper lip. NO ONE knows what it is.

The 3.8(3800) engine in the regal, grand prix, Bonneville,etc. was a very strong engine. These cars took a lot of sport cars by surprise.

TOTALLYAWSOME VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

Love the 3800 platform. I have one in my fiero with some mods done to it. Thing is pretty powerful, unfortunately the stock fiero trans lasted all of 10 miles and have been procrastinating putting an upgraded one in.

As a SHO owner (due to heavy influence from David's review), this is so fun. Also, anyone see the Terminator swapped Lincoln Town Car on CarsAndBids?

Ahh. This was my first car with speed back in 06. White regal gs with roof and gray leather. Fun ride. Started a sickness that brought me to a 700hp cts-v ❤

I love that two tone paint job with those smoked headlights. I normally hate smoked headlights but but it looks good on that regal.

For those that don't know this engine, do the research, it's very similar to the regal gnx engine. There was a huge aftermarket support through the 80s-00s, a lot of those parts and all that knowledge is still available.

🏁🏁Well would you look 👀 at this …cool build indeed 😎🤙🏾

I had a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix with an almost identical build as this. 3800 with a 6262 precision turbo. Dynoed at 440whp. I also had the ZZP ST5 Turbo Cam in my engine. Boy did that cam bring that V6 to life! The idle was very aggressive. It turned a lot of heads especially when the turbo would light up. This car got a lot of attention at the meets because it's just not something you see every day.

That thing is beautiful work of art you sir have some amazing cars on your channel!

The first platform I ever made power with... Got up to 480 wheel horsepower in a GTP and a 76 mm turbo and then the same turbo on a regal GS making 600 wheel horsepower but I couldn't keep bearings in it and eventually lost interest

great build, any details on the transmission? what’s been done to it?

My first car was a 1996 Buick Riviera with a supercharged 3.8 V6. 2 door coupe black, and I did all the things an 18 year old car kid would do, tinted windows 20 inch rims and 2 12’s/ 2 15’s with 3000 watts rms of power in the trunk that shook the block lol. Buick still to this day is/and was my favorite car I could earn enough to own being a lower class citizen. Love Buick’s and still miss that car to this day.

This video is perfect proof why I have a 2001 1MZ V6 Camry with a TRD supercharger on it! I call it the "Gentleman's Sport Sedan"! It isn't fast by today's standards, but it is fast for what it is AND it is reliable! Great video! Love the car!

Now I currently own a done up 2004 Grand Am. I don't have it boosted yet, but plan to in the future. It has a very interesting sound from the motor and exhaust. Took awhile to get it there, and the bonus is that it's not loudly obnoxious anymore lol.

Sounds like a Grand National

Props alone on making such a chill car look so angry dude . Well done and badass build !

I dig the way your content is constantly changing making it interesting

David, you need to test out the '12-'17 Regal GS models! Had optional AWD and even a 6-speed available (FWD-only). '12-'13 came with the 2.0T LHU platform, then moved onto the LTG platform in the '14-'17. I have a '13 that is my daily and it is a fun car, and surprises a lot of people. 270hp/295tq, with a decent amount of aftermarket support.

I like it,looks sharp and classy as well as having a decent chunk of horses...awesome combination of a vehicle!!!😁👍

I've been waiting for this video. With a built motor you can have a daily driven eleven second car. The 3800 engine was very under rated.
