i see a gold-ish roadmaster in a body shop on 579 (hunterdon cty) with fancy black rims, big tires, and all tinted out. looks pretty cool.
not for nothing, but motor trend stated the 5.7 roadmaster is faster than the imp ss. 7.1 vs 7.5 to 60. talk about sleeper! then again buick is always brushed under the rug as they quietly vacuum the doors off of the competition. GSX/GN/GNX anyone?

Big show, you are right - that would be a perfect sleeper, even better than the Caddy I was thinking of...
I think that Buick has the reputation of being for older folks, but on the other hand, most people looking quickly could easily mistake a GS for a Chevelle. GN and GNX were fast, but Buick got lucky on that - the pre 86's were not intercooled and were not able to run with the Corvette, LB9 f-bodies, or Mustangs of the time. The 86 cars blasted everyone else into the weeds, GNX even more so...
