<VV> Spyder/Corsa turbo -- fast?

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Exactly!  The Corvairs are fun for many reasons.  I enjoy the unusual 
engineering, the simplicity, the handling, the looks (especially my 
62 coupe).  I just don't try and fool myself that I can ever make a 
Corvair as fast as a modern car, and that is OK with me!  Now if I 
had buckets of money I'd try that Bugatti Veryon ... 0-200-0 in 
around 20 second!  Yikes.  0-60 in 2.8 seconds.  Well over 1,000 
horsepower!  But I don't have a few million lying around to buy a car :-( E
