All,
I'd like to remind everybody though that during the 1970s when everybody was 
down on Corvairs due to Nader, that there were several well known 
front-engined Corvair-bodied drag race cars.   The builders and owners who drag raced 
these "Corvairs" did a lot to promote the Corvair good name and reputation.at a 
time when popular publicity was critical of Corvairs. So in my opinion, we 
shouldn't be too critical of front-engined cars with Corvair bodies.
