A lot of factual errors in this video. A lot. Buick never had a 427. They had plenty of 455 v8 engines

Yup, it's loaded with errors. The Turbo Regal 3.8 was listed as 183 CI.. The GNX was a 1986, which they were a 1987. The 70 Stage2 was behind the 70 Stage1.. Why the focus on 0-60 times. 0-60 is not a good testing point, ad some good rear gears and any car will improve on the 0-60.. Your also picturing a very heavy modified Turbo T-type, engine bay and the warped fiberglass front end.. Really not impressed with this video, i'm really really sorry to say.

@@Johnnycdrums Oh yes the Stage1 was quite the fast car. Could argue that it was the top 2 of fastest 1/4 mile cars just as bought.. The Stage 2 should of never been put into this video. It was never a car that you could buy from a lot. They had planned to make them for the 1971 year but the low compression and unleaded fuel new laws stopped any hopes of building them. It would have been truly special. It was to have these newly designed really high flowing special heads and cam etc..These special heads with 2 inch round ports on the exhaust side could get into the high 10 second range 1/4 mile when built proper! They did however make these heads and other parts available over the counter at Buicks dealers around 1972. The video also did a quick mention of 150 mph?? for this Stage 2. Thats pure nonsense as its a car made for the 1/4 mile. It would take a 8 1/2 second 1/4 mile car to run that fast at the end of the run.

that turbo whistle at 08:11 🔥👌

The GNX was 1987 not 1986

And GNX had more HP than Type-1 Regal and had a special rear suspension like a Camaro...

What about the 1954 Buick wildcat concept? Which would've been Buicks version of the Corvette.

3.8 231V6. But the T type also had color options

The T-sport w-12 also had cast-aluminium bumpers.

You missed my year of Regal 1999-2004. GS 0-60 7.5 seconds, LS 0-60 8.7 seconds.

The 1970 GS stage 1 455 was the fastest muscle car of the muscle car era bar none

I wonder what that 65 GS skylark would run 0-60 with just a set of headers and more important, at least a 3.42 gear and some sticky tires. Low to mid 6s??? Buicks were always cool. My did had a 73 Riv...same color as the one in this video..with the buckets,center console and Buick really wheels. Loved that car. In 75, he w as going to give it to my brother for his 16th birthday,,,,,,,,wanted a 75 Trans am instead. The 73s Riv had duals and obviously no cats on it. The trans am had one plus a Bonnyville salt flats 2.56 gear. I woulda taken the Riv. I dig the Buick 3.8 supercharged mill in my 05 IMpala SS. Just a pulley drop to 3.5", some exhaust upgrades, PCM tuning and it really wakes up. Buicks are cool

When Buick offered the L76 340 hp. 401 late in the 1966 model year it was about .3 seconds quicker in the 1/4 and 1 second quicker 0-60 This was still with 3:36 rear gears.

​@@petereconomakis149I believe it was Car and Driver that tested 6 1966 muscle cars , they even had a Gran Pre driver Aston Gregory testing them on the loop. They also tested them in the 1/4 and the stock Skylark GS with the 401 2 peed auto with 3:36 gears turned a 14:95.

@@basilcarroll9729 I think thats the car in the test, I forgot to mention the high 14's. They also made around 50 Skylark GS's with forged pistons at 11 to 1 compression.. They tested one in the day that had that 2 speed and 3:55 gears. They unbolted the exhaust pipes from exhaust manifolds and the car did a 13.82 with cheater slicks.. They might of all been called Flint Flyers?? They say about 12 out of the 50 had been stroked to around 469 CI. and were almost unbeatable in their class. These were the true Flint Flyers. They cheated but never got caught. Every one I believed was cheating back then, even Olds was using a 425 instead of the 400 in their 1966 W30. Their might be a few of these 469 CI Skylarks GS's still around but for sure there is one that was restored. There is a book on the work behind the scenes on the making of these cars. So much was going on and alot of info is unknown and lost. Look up Buicks Flint Flyers..

6:36 has a Cadillac vibe to it. Very sharp.

Nothing respectable about a 9.1s 0-60 time in my book lol

Good list, but you missed the 1997 thru 2004 Buick Regal GS and GSX 0-60 6.5 sec.1/4 mile in about 14.5 sec. Great sleeper car with mods.

Thanks for sharing!

And it was the 1987 Grand National GNX that was also intercooled that made it a little bit faster not the 1986

While not the fastest Buick I had one of the rarer ones in a '70 GS 350 Skylark that put out a respectable 315 HP and 410 ft lbs. They only made 9948 of them in '70 and mine was loaded up even with rare bucket seats and floor shifter. I sold it to a person who was going to restore it and instead it got donated to the crusher for cash because their kid they were going to give it too drank beer at a party when he was 16. Who didn't do that?

We all know the 455 was an absolute monster. Moving a heavy car that quick, says a lot with just a 4 spd. GM could have made 3.8 Rivera Supercharged a monster. 24V heads to get it well over 300 hp, but it would have cut into the Camaro/Corvette sales and GM wasn't going to have that. As they got more power, so did the Buick's..🤫

T -Type and Grand Nationals were WAY faster than what you are posting. I have Car and Driver magazines in the 80's that state this. How about 4.8-4.9 secs. as it could beat any Corvette in it's era. If you do not believe me, I will scan you the magazines. And the car which you are showing has GNX on the front.

The Grand National was cancelled because it was faster than the GM Boomer-mobile. It even had a better 0 to 60 than an F-40.

Twice you showed a Buick with 427 cubes, which was never done.

@@Johnnycdrums1 in a million. Chevy engines have been, and continue to be, put in everything. There are more Ford Cobra kit cars with Chevy power than there ever were original Cobras. And most Cobra kit cars are Chevy powered anyway, more than are Ford powered. I've never seen a Cobra with a Mopar engine. I've seen Fox bodies at the strip with Chevy power. The editor of Mustang Magazine once complained about it in an editorial. Go to any car show & see all the Chevy powered T-buckets, high boys, lowboys, & everything else Chevy powered.

Why does this video keep saying 427 cid when it was a 455 cid I don't get it JS

This RoboVoice is just too painful to listen to, I didn't get to the end of the video.

And GM did not like Buick Grand National beating the Corvette so they made them stop making it

Had to go all the way to #5 to get faster than a modern suburban 0-60 lol.

You need to get your facts correct. About Buick muscle. The Buick T-type and Grand National did not use a 198 CI. it was the 231 Ci. The 1970 GS Stage 2 were factory test pieces offered to Buick Racers, in 1970. The Stage 2 was never put into production. Only available over the counter, stating in 1971. The 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 was a 455 ci. conservatively rated a 360 hp and 510flbs of torque. According to original road tests the 3rd fastest muscle car built. The car used in the segment about the GSX Stage 2 was not even a true GS. It is a clone of a GSX made from the Skylark 2 dr sedan.

GM did not like the Grand National beating the Corvette so they made Buick stop making the Grand National Buick had a history of making faster cars than Chevrolet

This is a joke. 0-60 ? People that like fast cars want 1/4 miles times !! The only 60 I care about is 60 foot times
