Default Re: 70 Stage 1 GSX 4 Speed -Concours Resto

In the 1970s you had the stage 1 GSX. At the time many mags like Motor Trend and Car Review rated this Buick as the fastest 4 seat production muscle car. Then in the 80s the GN/GNX Buick cars were the undisputed kings of the muscle cars. Then fast forward to 1997 and Popular Mechanics had a muscle car reunion shoot out. Again these same Buicks were rated the quickest four seat production muscle cars. The citations to the those articles and tests are in our GSX poster we posted here. Now I realize there will always be a dispute about what were the quickest cars, but no one can deny the Buicks were always at or near the top. Nevertheless, because they were so rare and expensive, they have never had the following of the other brands.
