Given that the Vanagon guys are pitching the both the air cooled and the  
water cooled boxers and sticking in Subaru engines, that should tell you  
something right there... 
BTW, just bought a new 'practical' car for me. A 2005 Subaru Legacy GT  
wagon. With a stick shift! 250 HP 2.5L 4 cam engine. How do you think one of  these 
would do in a Corvair? <G>
 



Well - Of Course, I live out in non-snow country. But if my brothers  
experience and observation from New Hampshire holds, There will be a few of  these 
4-wheel drivers who will find that (like Turbo-Audis) although 250HP and  four 
wheel drive will get you going and cornering much faster in snow and icy  
conditions, You still only have the same brakes as before. OOPS! Cars will  be 
dragged out of the snow drifts for the first few weeks of the heavy snow.  Should 
be some neat powertrains available for swaps come December!  - Seth
