Default Re: Attention Motorheads !!!

Tom2112, I guess you missed the mid-engine twin turbo Corvair of Ron Barbee's. These are true race cars. With the engine in the middle the weight ratio is 45/55 and you can throttle steer or set them up to your liking. I know because I have had 4 V-8 Corvairs and won my autocross class at the nationals in 2003 in a Corvair convertible with a 350hp 350 with a big car powerglide. And yes, they are really quick. I have driven my friends Super Vair, all aluminum Brodex big block, big car powerglide hooked to a Franklin quick change. It will change your prescription under full power.
