what?!?!?! those are the worst dsm's!! the crank loves taking nice long walks in those 2g's... thats why everyone with a 95-99 does a 1st gen swap, only utilizing the larger 2g exhaust manifold (they usually go ahead and port them anyway).. there are very very few 6bolt 2nd gens running faster than 13's. only problem is that all of 'em are super unreliable

pfff. The Regal isn't any more grandpa-ish than what you're used to driving.. It's a little more sporty IMHO. I LOVE the Regals! I had the pleasure of driving one (LS not GS though) and they drive very nice and the interiors are very nice and plush. THe brakes are horrible though. I'd choose a regal over a grand prix anyday. the GP's are way too cheap inside. I think the regal looks pretty sporty, same thing with the Riviera. although there are tons of people who would disagree with that unfortunately. :(

I know my car has a grandpa image, and the regal is sportier, but thats why i dont want my car anymore, the grandpa image....

btw, its the 95-97's that have the bad crank walk issue, and its not unheard of for a 1st gen to get crank walk, but the 98-99's dont have that issue really, some due, but its not that common. ill see if i can find some hooked up regals, i dont really want to "pimp" one out, just give it a sportier look/feel to it, i am 20 ya know...

This color combo is my fav.

Thats all I have i guess. The white one opened up his headlights and painted black inside in some of it. Looked bad ass, but he needed to put some driving lights in the foggies down low.

i like the black on grey regal GS's, i think there the lightest L67 equiped car too, not to mention PROBABLY not abused like GTP's, problem is, aroung here they seem to go for more than they do in other area's. i guess i could look for one, they buy one in a different state or somthing, or just wait for that good deal....ill check out insurance, i know a 4 door GTP was pretty high for full coverage, i think it was 1400 every 6 months

DSM's... easy to make fast, expensive to make last
