It’s a well known fact the 70 Buick GS 350 was a secret weapon and a street killer, especially when piloted by the highway star rowing those gears

Custom suspension upgrade, she is a true rocket ship on rail. Flat 90 degree turn at 60+ mph.

Now wise guy! My fat ***. I built like a grizzly bear come on down and find out! Bring that other all CAP QUEEN with you too!! Come soon, I am getting old.

70 Buick GS 350 was just an th350. But a torque monster! In the hands of a 16 year kid. With a permit to only drive in daylight to school and work. To be honest, I almost killed myself the first time I raced the GS. And told myself you have a lot to learn.

He liked giant tires. I think it killed both et and mph. It should have been well into the 8's and 152 or so. I also didn't like his converter as the car had terrible 60' numbers.

I had a customer that ran 9.04 @ 148 @ 3500-3600 pounds, he claimed 3600, but I never seen it on the scales, he also ran 1.30 60, I wasn't real happy with that, the wheelies slowed it down, it made 880 HP @ 7100 RPM on my dyno corrected. The car was raced at Woodburn, a fast track with a 30.0 baro.

Nice to see you defending yourself to these savages, where you at now savages? So I'am not interested in aftermarket block and heads engines, Have you ever done anything fast with production heads, production blocks, and list examples with drag strip performance along with weight? And lets get into the specs on this car.

The story goes back in the 70's GM workers were hangover from the weekend. So, Monday and Tuesday car were not as well made. Wednesday cars were built the best. Something about Thursday and Friday car I do not remember.

And some cars were lucky and came together with the best engine part at the factory. My buddy's brother from school was a great mechanic. Dad had him do maintenance on GS. I watched as he tuned it by ear. Drove it and tuned again. Told us it all set. It never run so fast before.
It never made the 1/4 mile under 14 sec. Just over. God knows I tried.

So, which one of you two is the catcher? pitcher?

I remember when all the late 60's and 70's muscle cars were on the street. And the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Soon after, no one want them. People were selling them for $500 or less. My best friend who's uncle had an insurance agency and supplied insurance cards. We bought many many of the classic muscle car. Rode the **** out of them and then sold them. A few cars we would even chase deer at nite in the harvested corn fields. I will always remember those day! I was lucky to drive many of the best muscle of that time.

How about you ''Bottom boy'' Were you even alive???

I showed this comment on this thread to my wife, she sifted through it, and here's what she said after checking out those quarter sticks: "looks like he's good with his right hand" I couldn't argue.
