Maybe it was a comet.. .which one did Nader screw with, that was it I

push button, on the dash, that I remember clearly..

Nadar screwed with the Corvair. While Bassy was correct that the car was
very screwy at high speeds, on most Corvairs it would not show the problem
till you got over 80 mph. The Monza Spider would top out at about 100
mph, it was turbo charged with 4 separate carburators.


Corvairs were fun cars but handled horribly in snow, even light snow. You
couldn't steer it. It was so light in the front end that turning the wheel
accomplished nothing ... the car just kept going straight and usually into
something.
