OK, I withdraw the comment ...
It's just that, while the Corvette is a hot car, it's SUPPOSED to be hot.
The Corvair's real "claim to fame" is that it was marketed as an ECONOMY
car, not as a "hot car."
The Corvair's qualities are understated, rather than overstated, a "sleeper"
if you will.
Acquaintances say "Oh, (only a ) Cor-VAIR ? I thought you said Cor-VETTE."
When they see it, and especially drive in it, they are suitable impressed,
expecting a typical economy car.
It's nice to see their impressions turn around, exceeding their
expectations. I'm sorry, but like I said, Corvettes are SUPPOSED to be hot;
Corvairs just ARE.
Apologies if I ruffled feathers ...
I get a kick out of people the first time they ride in or watch the
tailights fade into the distance
when my right foot gets heavy in my PT Cruiser Turbo.
Almost makes me wish my Corvairs were as fast... Then again.... HMMMMmmmmm.
Sounds like a goal.
