Forza Horizon 4: The Buick GSX

If you managed to get your hands on the ancient Buick GSX muscle car, then congratulations, you just have a piece of American history at your garage and now is the ideal time to talk about the late bloomer of the twilight of the muscle car race that was emerged before the oil crisis plunged the globe.



So, what is the Buick GSX? When Ford and Chrysler went over the 400-cid mark for their big and powerful engines, General Motors became the last to do so, allowing them to unleash some of the fastest muscle cars and this Buick GSX is no exception. Powering the GSX for 1970 is the 455-cid V8 engine, which replaces the old 400-cid one and some with bigger valves, new heads, and a new camshaft, resulting to 350hp of power and 510lb-ft of torque, mated to a Hurst four-speed gearbox, front discs, and heavy duty suspension, among many others. A certain motor magazine clocked this machine with the Stage 1 package at 105.5mph, making it "the quickest American production car" ever tested, while some would do it by 13's. It is a quick car that emerged from the twilight of the muscle car craze before the oil crisis struck the globe.



After all that little talk about the GSX, it's time to see how much of a muscle car this ancient machine will do and since Britain's got heavily occupied after that last tangle, I'm heading out at Fortune Island to flex its American muscles whatever it takes. Anyway, let's get rolling.



Job well done. There's nothing else I can say about it.

Enjoy your new ride.
