a corvair?
i used to see a guy who raced one in the new england scca, a corsa turbo, back in about 1970. he seemed to have a lot of fun with it.
my buddy in college at the same time had a coupe. one day as we parked and walked away from it, the dashboard caught fire.
later i had a corvan. bought it from a a pilot who said it was just like an airplane engine and had put some hopup parts in it. the serpentine belt drove me crazy trying to keep it on. it was pretty cool in traffic, tho- you hit the gas, popped up and could have a look around. but they could've done a better job on the suspension.
