| Ever have someone mistake your Riviera for "Regal" in conversation? It's like a hit below the belt - hurts bad, and you want to kick them back real hard. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| My old boss always asks how the Regal is doing.

| I remember a thread over at regalgs.org and a member worked for some city and named two streets Riviera Street and Regal Street. Maybe that was the street he was talking about.

| I like the Riviera and all but whats so bad about Regals? I mean, they were the foundation for the Grand National and the GNX which were both badass cars. It's not like he bought a 3rd gen Regal, now those are ugly and slow.
Besides, Regal GSes (Even though this isn't what Corey bought, I get the feeling it will become a GS...) are even bigger sleepers than Rivieras. The GS badge is only on the back in black letters on the tail light that are hard to see and the only other tell-tale sign it's a GS is a black grill instead of a chrome one (Which if I had a GS I'd swap the grill with a chrome one to make it look like a LS). It doesn't even have duals so it's not like anyone would suspect it of being a fast car. Compartively, we have a Supercharged badge on the back and dual pipes which somewhat take away from our sleeper factor.
Heh, probably the reason they never made a two door Regal like they did the Grand Prix was due to the Riviera. Not like Buick could have two supercharged luxury coupes... | |
