Thanks for the compliments, guys.

GM put the L67 in just about everything, all FWD in the US. The only RWD 3800 Series IIs (L36) in the US would be 4th generation F-Bodies as far as I know (Camaro, Firebird/Trans AM).

Cars that got the FWD L67/L32 (L32 = Series III supercharged 3800)?

The W-body cars:
1997-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (just GT in the last couple years)
1997-2004 Buick Regal GS
2004-2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
2004-2005 Chevrolet Impala SS


H & C Body cars:

1996-1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight LSS
1996-2003 Pontiac Bonneville SSEI
1996-2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra

As far as I know there were no factory FWD Turbo 3800s. You may be thinking of the 1989-1990 Pontiac Turbo Grand Prix, which had a turbocharged 3.1 liter V6.

It was a limited production vehicle, it was a very expensive car back in the day. I believe the only 3 options on the car were sunroof, leather seats, and CD player, everything else was standard. Most were pretty much fully optioned. They came in two colors, black and red. Interiors could be gray or tan.

They looked something like this (picture taken from Google):

They also did a turbo version of the sedan, called the TSTE (Turbo Special Touring Edition), I believe only 1000 of those were made.

These cars were replaced in 1991 with the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, which until the demise of the 1st gen W-platform (through 1996), were equipped with the 3.4 DOHC V6 (LQ1). The sedans were replaced with the regular STE, and then by the GT in 1994-1996 also equipped with the 3.4 DOHC V6.

Buick did do a FWD GSX on the second gen W-platform, it was similar to the Pontiac GTX. These could be Regals or Grand Prixs (respectively) that were modified by SLP Performance. There were different stages, I believe it was mostly an appearance package (save for headers/exhaust modifications and an intake). I could be wrong though.

Old mate cobber Ari is think about the snazzy little Buick GNX.

Turbo 3.8 with like 488nm of torque. Pretty sure Airstike said he owned one.

 

[WhatTheFehl312]

Ah yes, but the GNX was RWD
