In 1997, the Century and the Regal once again became versions of the same car. This period held the fastest Buick since the days of the Grand National, the Buick Regal GS. This car was now supercharged instead of turbocharged and produced a very respectable 240 hp (179 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) of torque. It has gained a reputation amongst those who know automobiles as a sleeper, or a car that performs better than one would expect from its looks. When introduced in 1997, Buick advertised the Regal as the car for the supercharged family. Buick also released two other model types, the LSE and 70the GSE. The LSE stayed with the 200hp engine with upgrades and the GSE stayed with the 240hp supercharged engine with upgrades. Also, in 2000 Buick came out with a concept GNX that had the 3.8L, but was supercharged instead of turbocharged. It had 300 hp unlike the original that had 276 hp.
