Reatta V8 RWD
Some cars have potential, but nobody ever realizes it. The Buick Reatta is one such vehicle. Based on the FWD E platform, the proportions are far from ideal. Therefore I tried to imagine what it could have looked like, if based on a proper platform: the F platform, for example. It would have been possible for GM to use this platform, but for some reason or another they decided they wanted front wheel drive. I bet the Buick Reatta would have sold a lot better if equipped with a V8 engine and rear wheel drive…

I’m actually in process of building a 383 cui stroker RWD 1989 reatta.

Great news, Charles. Please make sure to send pictures once you’ve got something to show. I’m very keen to see it.
Best regards

How would I go about lowering my reatta?

Hello Jordan,
as with any other car, I guess? Might be difficult to find off-the-shelf parts for it, though.
