RW>I used to pick up and deliver for service a 63 or 64 Spyder convertible
RW>for a customer of the station where I worked part-time. The drive included
RW>a winding road and a wooden bridge crossing over some RR tracks. I enjoyed
RW>the drive to and fro and thought the car was a sweetheart. Of course, it
RW>wasn't mine, so I didn't push it so hard that I would lose control.

RW>At the time I drove a 55 Chevy and they didn't handle very well at all.

RW> TW>  OF course they left you in the dust if there was much length to the
RW> TW> straights.

RW>Depending on the driver, of course. I think my 63 Corvette and all of the
RW>Z28s I've owned could handle better than the Corvair.

I no longer go to the Club metings but here in San Diego there were
several well preped Corvairs that regularly beat the Corvettes and
Comaros when they held the Stadium Parking Lot tight course events
