Event Coverage A Bit Of Fun For The Studebaker Guys...

Showdown: 1963 Studebaker Avanti Vs 1969 GTO Judge (msn.com)

 

Clearly not a stock Avanti...

 

I'm sure it's been tweaked a bit... ... but still, I didn't see anything radical...

 

Well, i drove an entry level Lark with an R3 Avanti mill & 4 speed when in my late teens. Scary fast it was !!! Even teh G T Hawk with R2 & 4 speed was no slouch either. Some kid bought the Lark & totaled it the first week he had it.......

 

It's an R2 and it didn't sound like to wild of a cam. Paxton .

 

Think it had more to do with rear gear ratios

 

I think the automatic 3 speed trans was the ticket over the 4 speed manual shifted GTO.
Could have been because the GTO was off topic here and the Adanti with the supercharger isn't?

 

They did have speedometers that went up to 160.

 

Yes, it is stock. The race took place at the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race in Michigan back in February.

 

As the writeup commented...NOT completely stock, but close.
