My Turbo Regals would probably disagree, so would my wifes Supercharged Regal GS, or my 72 Buick Skylark GS. Look into it, there are alot of us out there who would "really rather drive a Buick". The Buick GS Stage 1 in 1970 had more torque of ANY other muscle car of the era. 510 stump pulling ftlbs of torque. Yes, more than even the Hemi Cuda and the Chevelle 454 LS-6. Sure they do not make anything exciting right now, but not many car manufacturers do at this point. But on the other hand, the quality is still there. Long live Buick!!!!! Really?
