If you have never driven a V-8 Corvair you haven't been in the fastest car yet. The best part is that you can beat people in a straight line and wipe them out on the curves. There might be faster cars but for the investment, you can't beat them. The only difference in appearence is the larger tires. We had the Super Vair on a trailer going to Palm Springs, two other V-8 Vairs passed us, nose to tail, doing 140. That was awlsome!
Man, yeah I'd say a Corvair with a V-8 would be fast, It's been a long time since I've even seen a Corvair.
