<VV> Was Corvairette now Vette/Vair Suspension

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Rodney,

The suspensions of the LM Corvairs and the post 1962 (1963 on ...) 
Corvettes are basically the same design.  Perhaps the Corvair's lighter weight and 
lower center of gravity has something to do with it.  Of course, this assumes 
that the 1/10th of a G figure is correct.  No doubt the Corvairs in general 
and especially the LMs are as good or better than most at handling.

Greenbrier; 1966 Corsa turbo coupe; 1967 Nova SS; 1968 Camaro ragtop
