<VV> Spyder/Corsa turbo -- fast?

[moonpie8n at comcast.net]

I have to agree that Corvairs are not fast , but , they are QUICK , and fun to drive. That is what it is all about.... IF you wanna smoke the tires , buy a Big Block Mustang , IF you wanna car that's fast , get a Big Block [Chevy] , Cobra kit car, Maaaaaaaaan , my nose is still bleeding from the ride I had [0 - 120 in an instant / 11.2 in the 1/4 mile], BUT !!! Nobody can beat a Corvair for "MOST FUN for the BUCK!!".

Eric, 

Corvairs have never been fast. But they have always been quick which is 
defined as being able to everything well in less time than their market 
competition. I wouldn't ever try to outrun faster cars in a good Corvair--I 
would just drive their drivers nuts because they wouldn't be able to easily 
shake me off--I'd be right there with them. The skid pad numbers and 60 to 
0 stopping numbers of a well maintained Corvair are still world 
class--without ABS, Stability control and other computer programs. 

I love my Malibu 3.6L V6 (0-60 in 6.2 sec. in a family sedan), and it can 
be fun--but not as much fun and certainly not as forgiving as one of my LM 
Corvairs when they are in their prime (which they unfortunately aren't now).
