GM Hid Its True Horsepower. The Drag Strip Told the Truth. The nineteen seventy Buick GS Stage one held the American production car torque record for thirty-three years, beat the Hemi at the drag strip, and was called the best American muscle car of nineteen seventy by Motor Trend. Then almost everyone forgot it existed. This is the story of how GM deliberately hid the engine's true output, why the insurance companies and Washington killed the car before it ever found its audience, and how the quietest muscle car of the entire era turned out to be the fastest one.
