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. Eisboch When you drove them fast, the front end also wanted to jump up. |

Got hard to make a turn on the freeway. |
