It's just another Regal now. Don't care how fast it may be. He ruined everything that makes those cars special by replacing the turbo 6. Oh, wrong grille too.

Finally get to see more pics of it. Been seeing the underhood shot getting passed around Facebook for quite some time now.

That is crazy complicated but no one will argue with 1200 RWHP.

Plug changes? Pfft. Never.

I really like the boost braces on the charge pipes.

I am never impressed by what someone can buy, he paid for everything done on the car by a shop. I agree with Turbolq4, he should have left the GN alone and used a Regal to have the shop upgrade it.

this article is a joke...."Sure, he could’ve gone to a dealership and bought any number of modern cars and would’ve been happy but anyone that knows Bobby, well, that’s not his style.....so this is his style...."the car was dropped off to the talented crew over at Outlawed Street Cars in Tempe, Arizona where they would transform the GN into a straight up street beast"

There is no difference than buying a car from a dealership with the options you want or to have a car built with the options you want

Ha! I thought the story might shake up the troops here a bit.

I agree, he could/should have used a Plain Jane Regal to start with.

And as for the shop doing all the work, we could go back to the "Built vs. Bought" discussion topic from a few weeks ago.

I highly doubt it's as reliable as they say it is. Article says be wanted some thing to drive across the country. Sure, at what fuel cost? I bet it realy screams on 91 octane!
