Actually the Regal is the same drivetrain as the GTP. The Boneville is the Pontiac version of the Riviera.

Those older Riviera's (sp?) do have the 3.8L, but with an iron block/heads vs Iron block/Aluminum heads. They have the same body style and they have the 225HP S/C 3.8. I raced a Bonneville with this engine and beat the crap outta it after 80mph. The newer onces have the 240hp 3.8L S/C and those are quicker than a 2k or 2k1 Maxima auto.

The Riviera is dead. They stopped making them in 99. I'm not sure what year was raced, but it's not all that surprising of a win. The Riv is a heavy car supercharged or not.
Here's a link to a page with all of GM's car and the platform letters.
