   RW>I used to pick up and deliver for service a 63 or 64 Spyder convertible   
   RW>for a customer of the station where I worked part-time. The drive included   
   RW>a winding road and a wooden bridge crossing over some RR tracks. I enjoyed   
   RW>the drive to and fro and thought the car was a sweetheart. Of course, it   
   RW>wasn't mine, so I didn't push it so hard that I would lose control.   
      
   RW>At the time I drove a 55 Chevy and they didn't handle very well at all.   
      
   RW> TW>  OF course they left you in the dust if there was much length to the   
   RW> TW> straights.   
      
   RW>Depending on the driver, of course. I think my 63 Corvette and all of the   
   RW>Z28s I've owned could handle better than the Corvair.   
      
   I no longer go to the Club metings but here in San Diego there were   
   several well preped Corvairs that regularly beat the Corvettes and   
   Comaros when they held the Stadium Parking Lot tight course events
