Default Regal vs GTR

Hey guys, I'm thinking I'm gonna race a 2013 GTR in my turbo 2000 Buick Regal.

How do you guys think it'll go?
I'm running 16psi.

Vids up tomorrow.

How much power are you putting down? I think you will lose with the sparse information given.

In for the lulz. GTR will have a hard time keeping within 3-4 lengths is my guess.

I'm on pretty low boost due to it being cold out. Car just spins.
From what I gather a stock 2013 GTR is capable of 10s at 125+

About what I expected. Hard to see how far the lead actually was.

Wanted to run him on 21-23 psi but cold roads and all seasons.
We went again from 1st gear and he destroyed me lol
Tires just went up in an Armageddonesque burnout.

Don't see many clean regals anymore. Good Kill. 3800 with a turbo is a good setup for speed. If it was a DD I would keep the blower on it for simplicity. Why does the tach not work?

Edit:I must be blind this morning. They are both working....

I had a friend that used to have a 98' Regal with a 60 trim about 10 years ago. It didn't run that great but he was not very good at working on cars neither. Ended up having some waste gate issue. Spiked like 25psi and blew up.

Yea it was pretty cool back then. Between my brother and four friends there were five series II supercharged 3800's running around modded. I had a 85 Monte Carlo SS at the time with the 305 they had in them. I would get beat up on by blown 3800's all the time. My car was pretty slow but I made it run as good as I could. By the time I was done modding it, it would run mid 14's. Very familiar with the cars. My dad and brother both still have a Regal GS. The monte is still in the family with a 383 now. It's looking like your 3800 would slap the monte around still like I used to get slapped around.
