<VV> Fwd: Corvair performance

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

Hey Mike, I am fowarding your post to our 850+ membership
list called Virtual Vairs. Let's hear from others who may give
you some good tips. I am experiencing browser connection
problems presently and I have only e-mail service right now.
Please Consider joining a local club and our International
Club "CORSA"

Thanks,
Chuck Armer
