Yo Goat you've been beaten by South Bend's finest.........

[FireDropTechnologies]

At 65-70 in 35mph corners.

Not bull shiting you,

I out ran the highway patrole all the time.

Florida road Durango Colorado from durango too lemon resivor,

google maps that road, you'll get the picture.

[FireDropTechnologies]

Lark can take corners you just have too use the 4-11 and the throughtle to brake the rear's loose and drift the car, dirt track style, I could hold my'n in 35mph curves on two wheels after a bit of practice, but drift is easier if your not show boating.

Pissed up thwe shuift point's

My bad, 30,overdrive in first,

45,shift second buiry the pedal,

50-55mph lift the pedal,

overdrive kicks in,

hold thrue 75mph Bang for third,

And unless your heavy behind?

let it wind in over drive third.

The Old Studebaker V8 started off in the 1948 Landcruiser Limo modles as a 232V8 then grew to the 53 modle 259V8 then the 56 modle 289 V8 All of them based on the Original Merciadies V8 These engines the nash engines, and the Rambler engines, as well as some Yblocks shared many parts on an iterchangable scale.

This thing sounds like a Cheetah in heat!

[Trendyrapslut]

that is impressive. too bad studebaker didn't stick around longer. they had a good plan.

The 289 horsepower rating is probably understated by about 40 . Remember, they put a factory spec supercharged 304 R-3 on the dyno and got 365 horsepower. So much for "there's no substitute for cubic inches".

The Studes matched the go with the stopping power of Dunlop front disc brakes.

It isn't just a 289 V8, it's a factory supercharged 289 V8 my friend.
