Keith,
The Toronado GT was quicker in the 1/4. The 70 Buick Riviera GS did come through with the Stage 1 engine, 455/370HP.. High-lift cam,
stiffer valve springs, bigger QuadraJet, cold-air induction and low-restriction dual exhausts,, 3.42 gears (higher ratios available). But,
it was not quicker, despite being lighter (4247lbs. to the Toronado's
4500lbs.).
Toronado GT; 15.90's @ 89mph
Buick Riviera GS; 16.60's @ 85mph
