Y'know, I had to laugh when I saw a commerical for the Buick Lucerne today. Those puppies have a V8 and I'll betcha the needle will never see 60 on most of them.

I remeber my mom rented a 4 door alero, (pos) and I pulled up to this old man in his 70's in a buick and I revved on him and took off from the light just to make my friend laugh, well at the next light when it turned green, the old man boned out, chirping the tires! My friend and I almost died from laughing.

they are pretty quick my friends dad has one my friend got to drive it before he got a car... i think this is the second story like this i have heard, someone beaten by a buick wondering what it was. i guess buicks are quick it just all depends on the driver.

some older buicks have LT1s, and the newer performance minded buicks have the supercharged 3800S2...stock, it is only a mid to low 15 second vehicle when stock, but it can be fitted with the same aftermarket parts as the grand prix GTPs...so they have decent potential for a big sedan...i have seen a few at the track, with little done, in the high 14s, but ive also seen some, stock, in the mid to high 15s...if a late model regal GS walked you, it was built. they are only 240hp/280tq stock, and they are heavy, weighing around 3600lbs

however, ive seen a buick roadmaster with an LS1 swap, and it moved...i believe that it was in the low 13s...
