<VV> Vapor Lock?

I experienced a strange problem while out in the
Corvair this weekend. I drove the car about 30 miles
at 60-70 then made my way into stop and go traffic.
After sitting at a light I took off when the light
went green. The car started to sputter, spit, back
fire and also pop in the muffler. If I feathered the
throttle and managed to get the RPM up, it would take
off fine. After that I could cruise at 60 with no
problem. I could accelerate from this speed without
issue. If got stopped by another red light, the whole
problem would start over. I decided to pull over and
shut the car off for 1 hour. After that I drove home
just fine.
It was 80+ outside and the motor seemed hot, but not
overheating. Does this sound like a vapor lock issue?
