American Muscle Car: Buick Gran Sport/ O (DVD)

Buick Gran Sport WHAT’S THAT? A BUICK? – "Yeah, it’s a Gran Sport. Wanna race?" And that was usually the last of the conversation as the torque monster from Flint, Michigan buried its competition in leather-upholstered style. Stage 1 GS cars boasted an honest, dyno-tested 515 lb/ft of torque, the most torque of any U.S. production car EVER, including the mighty Hemi. Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick? ‘69 - ‘71 Hurst Olds 442 4-BARREL, 4-SPEED, DUAL EXHAUST – That spells 442, Oldsmobile’s entry into the horsepower wars. Olds was doing pretty well with the 330 C.I Cutlass, but their 400 engine turned it up several notches. Once again the Rocket Olsmobiles were back in the thick of it, just like they were in the fifties!
