<VV> Re: FieroVs Vair

[Tareece at aol.com]

A big thing to his credit is the 2 seat Fiero (2592lbs curb) with probably 
TPI and electronic igntion with CPU control over proper fuel/air mixture.
   The Vair you will have will be 20 yrs older than the Pontiac, somewhat 
heavier (2675lbs), and much more rearend heavy....
   I would suggest a 65-66 Corsa with the 140 equipped with carbs that won't 
starve in turns (see Wolf Carbs)...I would then tune the suspension with 
auto-X toe-in/out recommendations (see Leveque-Emerson)
   I expected the weight difference to be MUCH more in the favor of the 
Fiero, so good driver techniques will probably save the day.

autocross grudgematches on the horizon.  My one advantage is he's kind
of a weenie driver...he can't tell if he missed a shift, or ran out of
gas (he ran out of gas, actually).  Also, he dosen't work on his cars
at all, dosen't know a voltage regulator from a carburetor, so he's
stuck with a completely stock '88 Fiero.
