When you drop into Walser Buick GMC - Roseville, located at 2775 Long Lake Road in Roseville, MN 55113, you can check out the Buick Regal GS, which can shoot up to 120 miles per hour with ease. To some, horsepower is a key feature, even more than gas mileage.Equipped with a four-cylinder, 270 horsepower, 295-lb-ft turbocharged engine and six-speed manual transmission, Regal GS hits a top speed of 152 mph.
A Regal GS took home the checkered flag at Silver State Classic in Nevada last week.
2012's Regal GS entered the '120 mph Class' at this event, finishing the course in 45 minutes, winning a 'Most Accurate Rookie' nod, beating out 34 other teams in the process.
"The Silver State Classic Challenge is a road rally that takes place on a closed-off 90-mile stretch of Nevada State Highway 318, ending about 120 miles north of Las Vegas. Drivers must average a particular speed over the entire course, no matter the makeup of straights or curves."1
Buick only added a custom-fitted roll-bar, along with five-point seat belts, to Regal GS in order to win. The car ran "smoothly, quietly, and cool" through the course, hitting a top speed of 137 mph early on.
