I like it to be honest. Fuck Ralph Nader. Actual cancer on the automotive industry.

Didn't Chevy fix the suspension anyway?

>>14755307
Nader was wrong anyway. NHTSA and Texas A&M both did studies and found the early Corvair was "at least as good" handling wise

>>14755321
Of course that asshole was wrong. Should have known. Guess there always will be someone who doesn't understand something I freaks out. Like those vaccinefags and autism.
Which btw, the guy that made that claim later confessed to making it up for what I think was money/funding

>>14755420
I didn't namefag...oh it's April fools day.
Thank you gookmoot.

>>14755307
dunno about nader m8 but this thing is easier to steer than my toyobaru

Anyone know the most active Corvair forum btw?

>>14755654
The thing was people weren't used to the handling cuz muh polar movement (engine in ass like 911)
I think this was part of the reason.

>>14755689
When i went to go pick it up my gramps was like
>engine in the trunk?
Then gave this look like what old people do when kids skate on the sidewalk except this isn't a "you damn kids" thing.
Pretty sure he thought it was heresy but he's owned all the nice muscle cars of the day and worked for Damnliar Chrysler.

Get a nice exhaust for it.not too loud not too quiet. I've always wanted one. Why can't I be Jay Leno god damn it.

>>14754183
Breddy cool

>>14755819
PO was doing some restoration and put in some dual headers many, it idles low like a diesel but god damn them gear ratios give it a workout.

>>14756257
>many
Mang you fucking autocorrect.

>>14754183
Not bad op, im jealous. Im pretty sure the 61s had that oil heater, so watch out for that.

>>14756292
Well I mean I'm not going to fuck with that, I turned on the fan and some cute smoke started blowing under the dash. Someone niggered some wires or something. Engine leaked massive heat into the interior anyway.

>>14756257
Vid?
And do you mean tall ratios?

>>14756925
I can make a video after work, I'm not sure what the term would be let me put it like this, you become very aware of the lack of overdrive
