Tom,
Depends on the model. I am not a Buick coniseur, so I don't know too many details, but the significance of the Century model, was that it was guaranteed to do 100 ( century) mph.
I can't even tell you what year the Century debutted.
If its not a Century, it doesn't hit 100 mph.
Would you really want to do 100+ mph on bias tires with drum brakes, and little thought to crash surviveability?
