Re: [Classic Mustang] Sorry, guys - after watching this comparison I'm buying a Corvair (LOL)

In all honesty,
- I'd race Baja in a Corvair before a Mustang.
- With stock suspension, the Mustang is a little bit of a boat
- A (top-of-the-line) turbocharged Corvair probably was about as fast as a 2-barrel 289.
 
On the otherhand
- The Mustang was successfull on the race track
- The Mustang is closer to 50/50 weight distribution than the Corvair
- With performance suspension, the Mustang handles great. 
- The HiPo 289 was one of the fastest production cars at the time.
- The Mustang creamed the Corvair in the market

That is quite the find!  And to learn that I only have a 'sporty looking' car, rather than a 'true sports car.'  I'm bummed. Anyone wanna trade their convertible Corsa for convertible pony?  :-o)

Remind me, how many Corvair's won at Le Mans? Won a Gran Prix?  So many races... so few Corvairs.

ROTFL!
