Thank you! That's exactly what I thought of when I read the thread title. You can't get more sleeper than a dang Buick! SHO, GTP, anything with "Shelby" or "Cosworth" in the title a sleeper? No way. If anything they deliver less then you'd expect based on the spoilers, ground effects, etc. The only thing the Regal has different is a black grill. Most people probably just figure you got front-ended and cheaped on the repair.

With a few hundred bucks you can be going 13's. A few thousand and you are going 12's or deeper. No one ever sees it coming from those things.
