I recently purchased a 1998 Buick GS with a Supercharged engine. It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Most people on the road wouldn't expect this car to be so fast. I know, I didn't.
When I bought it off the lot, the salesperson wasn't sure what the hsp was and I guessed it might be 200 hsp. When I did more research, I found out that it was 240hsp! For some of you guys that may not seem like a lot, but I'm a young lady and drive like Grandma, so it's over the top to me. Not that I'm complaining...mind you.
When I told my husband he was a little shocked. And then we had this discussion about whether my 1999 nissan maxima w/ 190 hsp (I no longer own it) was quicker than the GS w/ 240 hsp. The first time he drove the GS he said the Maxima was quicker, but today he drove it again (by himself, so he was able to floor it without me freaking out) and it seems he has changed his mind. He now thinks the GS might be faster. I'm not sure if he's totally convinced....
Does anyone know what the quarter mile time is for the GS supercharged engine? And do you think it's quicker than a 99 maxima?
Thanks!
