<VV> [fastvair] Don't forget 10 pm PDT 101 Cars you MUST Drive on Speed

Here is the text from the Speed site, I was hoping that they would maybe,
just maybe not make Nader the center of the story. Geez, they're a  channel
based on cars and speed so you'd think they could get it right.  You  Early
guys don't get upset when they say your cars are less attractive..

It was the birth of consumerism as we know it today. Advocate Ralph Nader
decided that the Corvair was unsafe and set out to prove it. His 1964 book,
Unsafe at Any Speed, accused the car of being a lethal-handling deathtrap.
Whether it was or not is still a matter of debate. The main controversy
centered around the Corvair's rear swing-axle design, which was prone to
massive geometry changes during hard cornering that caused snap over-steer
and could provoke a spin. This was nothing new: Porsche's vaunted 911, the
early Triumph Spitfires, several Renaults, and by the way, every VW Beetle
ever build, carried a similar design and could also be provoked into
poor-handling traits if driven stupidly enough. Nonetheless, once Nader was
on his bandwagon and the public began to believe, the Corvair - often called
America's 911 because of its whirring, rear-mounted, horizontally opposed
siz-cylinder engine - was dead on arrival. The less attractive
first-generation cars aren't much fun, but the later Monza and turbocharged
Corsa models were good-looking performers that still have a loyal following.
And Ralph Nader will never be president.

Specifications
Engine: 164-ci turbocharged flat six (1965 Corsa)
Horsepower: 180
0-60 mph: 10.0 seconds
Top Speed: 110 miles per hour (Cosworth)
Price New: $3,677 (1965 Corsa coupe)
Value Now: A concours-quality coupe is around $12,000, perhaps $15,000 for
the ragtop. Non-turbocharged second-gen cars are under $10,000, and basic
first-gen cars can be bought all day long for less than five grand.
