From the Car Craft archives:
1970 BUICK GSX STAGE 1 CAR CRAFT 4/89 p.24 13.6sec 105.5mph
That was with an automatic trans and the rubber of the year. Note the trap speed. Trap speed for GNX is 102. When the GSX was given a set of street wide radial tires (G70 bias ply tire was stock), Car Craft did low-mid 12s all day.

A quote from the people at Buick who made the fastest T-Type (the 87 GNX):
infinet.com

""The GNX is an ax-wielding barbarian laying waste to everything in it's path" "Rockets to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and squirts
through the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at 102 mph"


"The GNX resembles the Grand National but the modifications performed on these cars made them one of the fastest buicks ever made"

It did'nt say GNX was fastest. The 124MPH maximum speed is kind of a bummer also.
