<VV> Re: the viewpoint of a young Corvair enthusiast (facts based opinion)

[Stephen Upham]

Jeff Clark says,
"You just can't appreciate how well a
Corvair drives (especially the EMs) unless you've also
driven a Falcon, or a Valiant, or almost any other
mid-size or large car from that period."

Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per, replies
"Nothing drive like a Corvair, ESPECIALLY an LM ! (EMs are unique, but 
LMs
simply cannot be matched.)"

I concur.
Ignoring the addition of the 140 and 180 h.p. powerplants and 
improvements in carburetion, the addition of the fully independent 
four-link rear suspension, shorter throw on both the 3 and 4 speed 
manual transmissions, improvements in clutch linkages, faster steering 
ratios, reduced turning diameter, optional telescopic steering columns, 
increased front sway bar diameter, and increased brake lining area, 
make it clear to see that the late model is better equipped for sprited 
driving than the early model.

I know you love your earlies, but the lates are the better handling car 
and the hardtops are the best handling of the lates.

Stiffer is better
