It’s not like a majority of d series turbos are under 200hp either. and bs to the 125hp stock 1.6, unless it a b16 or ur talking crank hp. ---

> [@redhat"](#): > > So first lets start off to say that this old Buick still have a lot of power left in her. At 167,000 miles, she still runs strong. Heres the story. I have a friend who has a 1995 Honda Civic EX Coupe. It has the 1.6 I4 with the VTEC and he has a turbo on it. It’s also a 5-speed. Anyways I have always been telling him that the Sabe (we enjoy calling our cars by names like such, I don’t know why, were 18, thats probably why) my Lesabre could put up a good fight or maybe even win against his turbo Civ, his Civic. So theres this one road that I know of that has little traffic and has no houses and is about 1/2 a mile long. We decided to race. Anyways we are both at the starting point. He is revving his engine, making the turbo speak its presence and trying to intimidate me. So of course I have to put the Sabe into neutral and speak the voice of the mighty 3800 gods. It sounded sweet. A few days prior I put new plugs and wires on it, and some good plus supposedly, those ones with the 4 electrodes. Anyways, put the Sabe into drive, one foot on the gas, one on the brake and gave it a little more than an idle. And we launch, pedal to the floor. Until about 20 MPG my tires are just spinning and the 3800 is roaring. So I hit about 30, the beast shifts, his Civ is a little bit behind me. He throws it into 3rd and launches ahead of me. At that moment the Sabe was at 55 and just shifted into 3rd, and then it hits it torque curve. And when I say launching, it launched, the Civ is in the dust, about 2 car lengths behind. I looked down and I was going about 100 MPH or so. Then we both get to the end and I laugh, and tell him my famous phrase “You know, Jesus drives a turbo Buick”. > > A lot of people for some dumb reason think a Buick is a shitty car, that they are slow old peoples cars. They’re not, they really launch. And I had to prove my point. I mean come on, the 97-01 or so I think it was, the Regal GS, those things were monsters with first off the 3800 Series II then a supercharger on top of that. A definite sleeper that would wake up Grant in his tomb. > > I guess I just like Buicks. In before the edit. ---

I drive a GS, and all I can do is just shake my head. Sure, it’s a nice car, and pretty quick for a grocery getter, but I’m certainly not gonna come on here bragging about beating up on a civic either. To the maker of this thread: Please, if you’re gonna go out there and race on the street, keep 2 things on your mind: 1. have your head out of your ass before you kill yourself or even worse, an innocent bystander 2. it’s gonna bite you in the ass if you get caught. #1’s the biggie, and much easier said than done if you’ve just gotten your liscence. Just be careful man, and keep the nonsence posts to a minimum, ok? ---

The civic had a stock motor and the kid was not too keen on boosting the hell out of it, only put 6 psi of boost. ---
