<VV> Reliability, etc. of a turbo; was: Corvair Classic

[Bryan Blackwell]

I've not had one, but that sure sounds like an overstatement.  However, they need to be really right to be fun to drive so everything I've heard suggests that most owners new to Corvairs are best off with a 2 carb variety.  Just like in the '60s.
