I'm thinking maybe it's a Buick Grand National or GNX.
And yes, they can typically clean our clocks.
VERY quick cars that you usually see doing 11's at the drags.

I think newer buick regals are supercharged and pretty quick. The could give a 305 a good run.

early 90's Buick?

They stopped making Turbo Regals/Grand Nationals in 1987. Every Buick since then is forgettable and slow-- especially from the early 90's. The 97+ Regal GS is sorta quick, but not quicker than ANY thirdgen. It's the Buick version of the GTP sedan, with the supercharged 3.8. A good one will run high 14's stock. My 92 Z28 ran 14.1s with a couple mods...

Are you 100% sure it was a Buick?
