'Avanti?'

Saw this at Publix the other day...hadnt seen or heard of it before. I guess its a "Studebaker" technically; revived name. 6 speed LS1, this one had chrome rims meaning it was supercharged as well. Mid to upper $60k or so apparently.

I dont think its ugly, but I sure as hell dont like it. ~ 3,600 lbs, although I dont know the specific HP rating, I'd say you are still better off with a Vette or F body

those have near the same lines as the old origonal avanti, but the old ones had a supercharged ford 302 in it.

well based on the 2005s pictures it looks like its based off of a mustang... such as the doors are pretty much the same and the wheels are from the sn95 cobras...
