I love drag racing !
My 65 big bore Monza has run a best 1/4 in 14.600 @ 95.07 mph. I'm pretty sure it'll get below 14 with some practice.

Wow Kevin, the car looks faster then it is cuz I thought for sure you were running 13s in that thing. But hey, 14s is still wicked fast for a corvair.

Re: "UNSAFE" Drag Racing !!!!!
One of the influences for my love of corvairs was an EM near my house that was a drag car that did 11's with a corvair drivetrain!! The car ran in the late 60's/early 70's and was just sitting on a trailer in the front of a gas station. I got pics of it in action from the owner of a Texaco station where I worked around 1976.....the pics showed it pulling a wheelie and was ahead of an SS 396 chevelle! It was named "Corvair A Go Go". The engine had a Paxton supercharger feeding an AFB on a center 4-barrel setup, and the car was completely gutted and of course no fan or shrouding. Seems to me, a new style turbo and an automatic would be a killer setup for the drags, if a performance torque converter was used. Power-brake that sucker right before the green lite and go.
