[edit] Quickest production car?

I removed the text

The Buick was the quickest production car on the market at the time.

since it seems a little improbable. Faster than Porsches and Ferraris and Lamborghinis and everything else in production worldwide at the time? Faster than a Corvette?

I suspect that some qualifying term is needed here. Fastest US-built car, or something like that. —Morven 04:08, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it was faster than the vette. It was indeed the fasted mass-production car. This car was amazing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.137.245.199 (talk) 02:04, 4 May 2006
Hey buddy, you're not a loser. Wait, that seems a little improbable. No, it's impossible.
Anyways, as the last guy said, this car was absolutely amazing. It was in fact the fastest mass-production car outrunning all others at the time. So at Captain Improbability, this car was faster than the Corvette and I have an original GM video from 1987 to back it up. It outran the 87 Callaway Corvette, that went for twice the price of the GN, by a considerable amount.

Considering the GN and GNX both had a hefty curb weight 4.7 seconds is very hard to believe. 3,545lbs to be exact with 275hp. This 0-60 makes a little more sense, 5.5 seconds even though I'd says more like 6 seconds. http://home.att.net/~buickGNX/GNX/memorabilia/specs.jpg (SnakeEyesNinja 09:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox picture

I'm not trying to push my own work here, but I changed the third generation infobox picture to one I took. I figured that it would be preferable to have a picture of the car by itself, rather than one in a parking lot. --Varco 17:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Designer Series

When the 1982 Buick Regal Grand National was released it was in black/silver/black paint. When the GN was reintroduced in 1984, it was in all black. Because the black/silver/black paint gave the regal a distinguished and aggressive look, it was granted its own option package on the T-Type called the WH1 (Designer Series Package). It included the black/silver/black paint and was the only T-Type to feature a factory installed rear spoiler. It was available on the T-Type between 1984-1986 and had no other option requirements (it could have any color interior, just like a normal T-Type.) Production has assumed to be as follows: 1984 = 1,163 / 1985 = 525 / 1986 = 463. More information can be found on the WH1 Designer Series Registry at http://members.aol.com/wh1regal —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.128.167.208 (talk) 03:15, 22 October 2006

[edit] Motorized seat belts? No anti-lock brakes on 1992 Custom?

I have three Regals. Two Customs (1991 and 1992) and a GranSport (1995). None have motorized seatbelts. All have anti-lock brakes. Not sure why the entry says otherwise.


== ??? So What's the status on the motorized seat belts comment? I don't know of any 1991-1995 Regals that have them. - JWS (The Above Comment is Mine Also)

[edit] Tone Very Inappropriate

This article uses way too many POV words. "Ferocious" competitor? Needs lots of cleanup. 67.175.193.172 01:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
