The Buick GSX was a powerful machine. So much so that many people found it to be the perfect fit for them. However, there are always a few that want more, and Buick was more than willing to offer it to them with the GSX Stage 1. This upgraded version of the car looked similar to the original GSX because the differences were found under the hood. The large 455 had an upgraded camshaft, higher compression ratios, and a four-barrel quadra-jet carburetor, so finely tuned that one flick of the accelerator pedal created an immediate response from the engine.
