LuckoftheGTP Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The 3rd gen regals look very similar to the Centry. Are there any differances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 3rd Gen?! I'm assuming you mean second gen? I think its bumpers and suspension for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 no l67 in the century either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoomFan Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 no l67 in the century either I keep telling my friend to swap an L67 into his '02 Century, and he says no every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 the Century is basically a less optioned version of the Regal. Cloth interior for the most part, 3100 only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't think you could get a 3100 Regal, could you? I might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'd so no 3100 regals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Pretty much the same exact car the Regals were optioned much better such as better guages, engine options, wheels, body effects, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 My grandma century is pretty boring. Front bench, am/fm radio cassette, stock wheels and 20k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't think you could get a 3100 Regal, could you? I might be wrong. Smallest engine is the L36. Moving to General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I really liked my late aunt's Century, kind of wish I could've gotten it!! But yeah, it's pretty much a lesser Regal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoomFan Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 If I had a ton of money, I'd have a Century as a DD while I did ridiculous things to the 3. My friend's '02 is alright for what it is. It rides SUPER smooth and is really quiet - hence why so many old folks drive them. He gets like 24 MPG, too.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Century is the lesser optioned version of the regal. It's kind of like comparing a Grand Prix SE to a GT. The Century does not have the rocker moldings like the regals, they come only bench seats/column shifters, they only come with the 3100, etc... I personally would NEVER take a century over a Regal, but that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 But if you swapped a modded L67 into a beige, bench seat, hub cap, Century, that would be a true sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 But if you swapped a modded L67 into a beige, bench seat, hub cap, Century, that would be a true sleeper. that'd be a fun car. Once you do something to the grandma floaty suspension to get it to hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Ball Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 No fogs on the century either. The century is garbage and is only for someone on a low budget for a grocery getter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 funny you call the Century garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 funny you call the Century garbage. Why? It cause it is. Sure they look similar, but they are just a cheaper / underpowered version of the regal. Not to mention that front grille is horrible.

slick Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yet they are some of the most reliable vehicles made.... Not sure how you call that garbage. Especially when they are just stripped down Regals. Must make Regal's garbage too. They are an old persons car. Generally, they got the most reliable parts from the GM parts bin. No frills about them, but they go forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thats why I dont own a century. If I had the decision of owning both, of course I'd take a regal over a century. Regal's are alright I guess. Good enough for my DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Instead of putting an L67 into a Century, why not just de-badge, re-badge and re-grille a Regal. Wait, there's no point in doing either idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, there's no point in doing either idea! There's no point in doing a lot of things. Doesn't mean they don't get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
