Guys, I can only tell you my experience with TWO 1964 Corvairs. They ran great and they did corner like they were on rails. I once took an Olds F85 small V8 off the line at a redlight. I was a 4 spd manual and he was an automatic. I did not experience any over steer or traction problems.

Rich, You are looking at this issue too logically and with too much rationale. Global warming is a personal issue like religion...some believe God is behind global warming because we humans are inherently sinners while others think the Devil is behind global warming just to scare us for fun.
