CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Did you ever get a decent time for that Corvair? What track did you run it at? I took it to a Run-Watcha-Brung at the local airport, which is where the picture was taken. I made the Quick-8 there running in the 7's in the 1/8th. No one could really hook there, it was a temporary track (airport parking lot). I tried to take it to a real track, but they laughed at me and said "bring it back after you install a roll cage". I built it as a Pro Street Cruiser and had no intentions of putting a roll cage in it. It was a fun cruiser though, lots of attention. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I noticed the lack of a bar or cage, and in 2000 that was an 11.99 limit! Track legalities aside, didn't the body flex with the launch? I would think keeping windows in it or doors closing would have been a chore...? What was done to the chassis to mount the engine/suspension? Was it a 2x3 or..? Love the looks of the car- I'm not big on the "common" cars, as much as the weird ones.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 My 1975 Vega has more left as well, but the class I race in is a 10.60 Index class. I have only pushed the car on two different occasions, it easily ran in the 9's both times with a conservative tune. Were the 9 second runs on the bottle?

06VHO Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yes, 2x3, ladders, Koni Coils, not much flex. Yes, 9's with a 150-shot, 10.40 to 10.60 all motor, and 91-octane unleaded either way. Where did you find those pics of my old car? I just had a flash back of when I hand fit that grille.

I carried an allen wrench in the glove box and you simply unscrew the counter-sunk allen bolt, then close the trunk and re-install the scoop. To open the trunk lid, same process but you need to use the key to unlock the trunk first. I can't believe there are pics of my old car getting around, too funny.
