mfg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Posted September 20, 2017 At the Studebaker proving grounds in 1962, 0-60 acceleration times between a supercharged and an un-supercharged Avanti, (both equipped with auto trans & 3.73 axle), differed by ........... seconds. 1) .5........2) 1.0.........3) 2.0.......or......4) 2.7
Ron.Strasser Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 I would be surprised if it was much more the 1/2 a second. Not enough time for the blower to start producing boost and the lower compression to start with. Hence less horsepower

mfg Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Posted September 23, 2017 CORRECT ANSWER...........# 2.....One second difference between the two Avantis!
