Default Re: corvair in stock or superstock?

283Nova, The 110 hp Corvairs are natural V/S cars. The 95 hp (factored to 100 hp after Bob Shaw won the Sports Nationals in 1975) cars are natural W/S cars but have to run V/S in NHRA since no 6 cylinder cars are allowed in W/S. So, if you are going to run NHRA, the 110 is the better choice. IHRA allows 6 cylinder cars in W/S.

Smile Re: corvair in stock or superstock?

What about Dick Griffin out of Lansing, Michigan? This was a great car. Record holder too. Long time ago but NHRA didn't like his turbocharged car . As I remember , they weren't going to allow turbo/supercharged cars anymore. ??????? Times change ....

I have a '64 Monza Spyder Turbo....150hp. She's a beast.

It's only seen the parking lot at Lebanon Valley. But so very tempting.

Thumbs up Re: corvair in stock or superstock?

When I was in High School I had a friend who had a real Yenko Corvair! We didn't realize how rare these cars were until many years after it was gone. Real Corvair groupies can tell you how rare they are. It was friggin fast! BTW at that time I was driving a 1932 Model A Ford with a Chrysler 392 HEMI and a Powerflite trans. Jim
