During official Studebaker Corp testing, the difference in speed at the end of a 1/4 mile between a 1963 Avanti Equipped with an R1 engine and a similarly equipped Avanti except powered by an R2 engine was.......?.......MPH.      ( Both vehicles had auto transmissions and 3.73 axle ratios.)

1) Five.....2) Seven.....3) Nine.....or......4) Ten

I'll say 5 mph.....................too bad they didn't call that famous Studebaker racer Ted Harbit to prepare that R2, the difference might have been much higher! :o
