<VV> DULL Cars WAS LM turbos and no lower shrouds [no Corvair]

[Mark Durham]

Personally, I like driving the corvair over my cousins restored 55
Belair with 425 HP. Its so fast its a bit more to handle than I want,
the 62 Coupe 4 speed with its 110 + HP with 270 cam is a good balance
of power to weight and is fun to drive. And, my 22 mpg sure beats his 7!

DULL is for sure ... today's measure for 'sharp' cars is how many cup
holders they have, how exciting! :-)  Some of the new cars are pretty
fast ... even some of the Jap Crap.  At least they think so until they
come up against an old mussel car with modern sticky tires.  No just
stomping on the gas to go with the old timers; it takes some skill
with the clutch to keep from going up in smoke!  The raw power of all
that big block torque punching you back in the seat ... now THAT is a
REAL blast!
