1200hp LS Swapped Buick Regal BLAZES the Burnyard! // Build Breakdown

This car is straight fire! Frankie Tru's '86 Buick Regal T-Type decided that v6 life wasn’t the life for it, so naturally it released the rods from the block which gave Frank the Tank the opportunity to drop in a fully built Supercharged LS engine making a little over 1200hp. Why stop there? With power comes responsibility so he went on to install a custom Camaro front-end for the much better handling that comes along with it. Now please rise while Frankie plays the song of his people, enjoy!

I'm 32 years old, giggling like I'm 4 watching this thing smoke and literally burn around the yard. Thx Hoonigan, that's all

28, I also was giggling like I'm 4. This G body is just one of those cars 🤷🏼‍♂️

Age makes no difference to car people, you can be 18 or 81 and when you get in the seat of something with balls that sounds like a demon tornado on meth, youre gonna cheese ear to ear when that pedal hits the floorboard and the clutch dumps slamming you back in the seat..

[@Dropbear237]

You guys should get some big bright red lights so you can have an emergency button for and put them around the burn yard, so if there's a fire like that and the driver can't see you they should be able to see the lights and stop.

[@jonw12]

Or an air horn

[@anthonyliso6791]

You're probably right, but safety third

[@frompaintopower9688]

Sick car! mad respect for continuing to shred despite the rear wheel bursting into flame! Where the shred score at tho?!

[@Super11SAM11]

I have a 88 SS Monte, about 134k miles , Bone stock, aside from upgraded brakes, rims and a 2.5” drop. So much fun to drive. I am taking notes, because this is something I’d love to have similarly. GBody chassis is slept on 🔥 *Side note: GBody shuffle is not something you want to experience. Very very scary 😅 only happens in the rain 🤣

[@bradleyhollon6085]

So true i had a 87 regal man in the rain and the snow it could get interesting drove it all winter one year in ohio with only front brakes and no heat my doors would freeze shut on the way to work

[@Beardchanics]

Absolute work of art that build, so well thought out!

[@hinds90]

Mica will be forever remembered for that burnout he did at the OG burn yard in the white E46 with the LS swap.

As a 19 year old I built a 81' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Burnham that originally had the infamous v8 Diesel. Removed all the Diesel parts and installed a 71' gs Buick 350 wide block. 795cfm Edelbrock performer and upgraded to EFI. Had a lock convertor out of 3/4 ton Chevy on a 350 turbo transmission. It was a fun car..

[@anthonyfletch]

Fastest car I was ever in was a monstrous olds Cutlass supreme, guy taped a $100 bill to the dash and would say if you can grab it you can keep it 😂 good times, badass car 🤙🏽

[@Centermass762]

If I had $100 for everytime I head that urban legend, I could build 10 of these G-bodies.

I had a 83 Buick regal with a 231c.i V6, I blew my V6 up as well. Ended up dropping in a 1976 350c.i Oldsmobile V8 with a turbohydromatic 350 transmission that was beefed up. Swapped the rear end out to a Ford 9 inch, all custom work I did myself in my garage.

[@turbosammy6085]

"this man did my brakes.. That failed" 😂😂

[@jamesthecosmonaut5041]

dude its so cool to watch this because i race dirt track cars and this guy legit almost just explained the setup for a stock car lol, like legit when he said "oh yeah we shoved the motor way back, and made some handling parts for a g body" also along the lines of how the body un bolts from the frame easily, just like a stock car
