I don't have all the stats at hand, but regardless of HP, the Avanti must have had about a 1500 lb. weight advantage, no?

I love the drag strip vid. Did anyone else search Youtube for Packard stuff? I did the Packard factory vids were interesting if you turned the sound off.

The car that you can hear sure sounds like a 3 speed manual tranny....is the Clipper a 3 on the tree? There were a very few Avantis delivered with a 3 speed floor shift. As I recall, the curb weight on an Avanti is around 3500 Lbs.

I think Roscoe told me it was a three speed. I am not sure, but it may have 2 4bbl also.
