<VV> Reliability, etc. of a turbo; was: Corvair Classic

[gerg]

I was told recently in KY on a road trip, at a local alignment shop of all places, that I should NOT put 14" or larger wheels on the car because it will take flight. I took flight from that place ;)

Also recently learned that a previous Spyder owner that the 150Hp could pull the front wheels almost 4' off the ground. 

I love these super cars. 

Thanks,
