2003 Buick GSX POV Drive

[@benbees7681]

That's gotta be one of the best v6 engines I've ever heard

[@Nakkisampyla]

Try Busso

[@JW_Reviews]

It definitely isn't a bad sound at all for a V6 😎

[@Reyd_01]

I still have nightmares about troubleshooting that sweet for it's time engine. The cooking, the cooling, the line replacements, the bearing swaps, the dogbone, the pulleys, the charger oil kits, the fan tunes, the consumption, the smell of 4 speed auto clutches.....aaaahhh smells like 2005 😆

[@Iroc3132]

same, I put so much work into mine. loved it.

[@JW_Reviews]

Hopefully this video didn't bring back too many bad memories 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@johndeaux83]

Absolutely MINT. I cloned a 99 GS ,added everything,wheels, floor mats, grill, spoiler, dash emblem, headrest applique, and a ZZP PLOG and downpipe, but not the exhaust tips. Drove the wheels off, and sold it at 200K miles for a 2004 Ultra. Guy that bought it still drives it.👍🏁

[@robc8875]

The 3800 series was a very reliable engine and well suited to be boosted by the supercharger. Nice to see an 03' in such pristine condition.

[@Reyd_01]

Ive got to add an edit... very reliable "when maintained meticulously"

[@bigmike8847]

@@Reyd_01 Honestly I beg to differ. Eventually itll break enough to throw a check engine light for a few codes, but itll run at 80% for eternity at that point

[@Reyd_01]

@@bigmike8847 i'll meet in the middle...ive had a gtp, roomie had a gtp and then a Regal gs...they go to 100k+ sure, but every one of them has made you learn it to keep it out of the shop.

[@JW_Reviews]

That's great to know it was reliable! Yes, this car was immaculate and I'm so glad I was able to drive it. Thanks for watching!

@@JW_Reviews I’ve never seen a GSX Regal before I personally own a 2002 Buick Regal LS

[@jacobhernandez2962]

I had a regal gs as my first car. Loved it. The perfect sleeper.

[@JW_Reviews]

Very nice! Definitely a sleeper 😎

[@Reyd_01]

Yessir, if you had this powertrain in 2006 you were shaming 4.8 stangs and merc's left and right...

[@fordmustang98guy]

@@JW_Reviews isn’t it still a Regal? I own a 2002 Regal mine is an LS

[@quinnisquinn9502]

This is a FINE example; thanks for sharing

[@JW_Reviews]

It certainly is! You're very welcome

[@veeco3110]

My first car was the 1999 SLP regal GSX stage 3 development car. I have very close family members in SLP/SVE family. Thank you so much for this. The nostalgia is hitting hard on this one.

[@JW_Reviews]

That's AWESOME one of these was your first car! Do you still own it? And do you still have family in that line of business? I heard SLP recently sold to Roush performance. I'm glad the video brought back some memories 😁

[@254967conwell]

There was no 1999 GSX produced it just a GS with SLP mods put on later...2003 was the only year a true GSX was produced. I worked at a Buick dealership parts department for 5 years and we had one in the showroom in 2003 the only year and when I left it was sitting in the back lot, it didn't sell when I was there

[@hzfitnesse3799]

Clicked really fast on this video. Never thought i see a video on this in 2022 considering how rare these GSX's are.

[@JW_Reviews]

So glad you were excited to see this 😁 Definitely a rarity and not easy to come across!

[@aomar9449]

Now imagine that engine with a modern transmission. very neat car

[@JW_Reviews]

It would be SO much faster for sure! Thanks for watching the video

[@Reyd_01]

Ferreal ferreal.... an 8 gear auto on it would chomp every horse to its max

[@davidmudd3211]

Another good car review James and It is so nice to see you put your foot down mate. The car boot and truck is good to see and wow supercharger. Thanks again.

[@JW_Reviews]

Thank you so much, David!! I enjoyed stretching this cars legs a little bit, it was a ton of fun 😎

[@Iroc3132]

wow. great video. really brought me back to my GSE. I love GSXs

[@JW_Reviews]

Thank you!! I'm glad it brought back some good memories

[@faust13301]

Super clean.

[@JW_Reviews]

It certainly is 😎

[@nutleysports88]

Best ASMR ever

[@chuck32504]

This is mint-- I see only 9k miles on it.. !!!! OH BABY!!! I assume under the odometer and trans labels the total miles~~Plus the glove department still has the original label attached to it. When you would have bought it fresh in 2003. LOVE IT!!

[@JW_Reviews]

Yes, this car truly is in show room condition. Definitely fun to experience it as if it was new 😁 Thanks for watching!

Thank you so so much, Susan! I'm so glad you watched the video and liked it 😁

[@lonwaslien104]

Did you draw any attention from other drivers? Nice video 👍

[@JW_Reviews]

A few people definitely took notice but this car doesn't attract too many eyes, it's very much a sleeper at least in appearances. Thanks for watching, Lon!

[@plap.]

Never really my cup of tea, so many front drivers back then but worth watching because of nostalgia. Remember them well, has some nuts, sounds good with exhaust and blower whine. Only ever saw a few and surely kind of rare. Very clean and low mileage if accurate. Cool it was kept alive, lots of cars could have survived if taken care of properly by more people. It does sound like it needs a bearing somewhere tho. Pretty consistent sound especially at higher speeds. Doubt it's a big deal but the car is worth the repair to make it right for another twenty years with a fairly reliable engine

[@JW_Reviews]

I'm so glad this brought back some memories! Yep, the mileage is accurate and the car certainly shows it. This is definitely a pristine example and a great car. Thanks for watching!

[@samuelthompson2605]

I really like the W bodies but that one is a bit too subtle for me even with SLP's add-ons. I had a 99 Grand Prix GTP coupe. Same car, same engine but Pontiac made it more sporty, whereas Buick's reputation was not for sportiness.

[@JW_Reviews]

Good point! It definitely has a more understated look, but that's probably for the best since it's a Buick. I would have liked it if they would have added some more exterior changes such as racing stripes just like the original GSX had. Thanks for watching!

[@Reyd_01]

The gtp had tighter suspension and more cooling issues with the kidney grille. The Regal gs had less cooling issues but spongey suspension. Pick ur sleeper I guess....

[@Reyd_01]

19 yrs later.... lets be glad they didnt do racing stripes, thatd be embarassing now

[@grapeswisher2226]

Nice!

[@JW_Reviews]

Thank you!

[@dalehampton4554]

The GSX has nice deep throaty sounding exhaust for a V6.

[@JW_Reviews]

Very true! I really like the sound of the engine from the inside of the car, sounds very good. Thanks, Dale!

Where did you find this thing?

[@florida83]

My apologies. My grandmother had one. Garbage interior and electrical issues and more.

[@concrete2733]

That buick only has 9000 miles on it??

[@JW_Reviews]

Yes sir! It is a one owner car and it was barely used and is truly like new. You should see the other cars in this guys collection, lots of pristine vehicles! Thanks for watching 😁

300000-400000 mile lifespan engine and 30-32 mpg's and 240 something horsepower.....the 3800 series II and series III were excellent, reliable and efficient powerplants for the time. They take a beating very well.

I still have my 2005 Bonneville with the series 2 3800. 237,000 miles and literally still runs like new.

[@ItsPainnz]

really nice look, sucks that im hearing bad things about it @Reyd_01

[@Reyd_01]

It wasnt bad in retrospect, all of the applied cars are fun af..... they just DEMANDED you take care of it at every recommended interval or leak or underperform. To this day Id take a 120k '06 with a constant paper trail over some brands '15+ with 45k. "They dont make em like they used to" has been more true 2016+ than ever before... Ill never buy a "covid car" 2020-2022
