Avanti... The car I had wanted since my father took me to a car
show in his lark and was parked next to a beautiful white
Avanti when I was about 5 or six in the early 70's.
176... Someone was already registered under the user name
Avanti so the 176 is the mph that Studebaker got their
stock little supercharged 289ci funny looking car to do on
salt flats way back in 1963 which took the big three almost
30 years to top with the zr-1 and viper. And convienently
all of the vette,viper,camaro,mustang and any of the other muscle
car enthusiasts out there refuse to aknowledge that it ever
happened.

Sorry for the rant but I am just sick of trying to explain that to everyone that makes me stay an extra 10 min's at every gas station I pull into and then they just roll their eyes and say..
YEAH RIGHT!

Everyone have a good day!
Dan
