In 1971, the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 faced the muscle car apocalypse: EPA regulations! With unleaded fuel and low compression, horsepower ratings dropped faster than a lead foot at a red light.

Oldsmobile’s W-Machine, the W-30, still packed a punch, proving that even in a downturn, this muscle car was the GTO’s suave cousin.
