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.

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

I've had an itch to do a 140HP/Powerglide combo for a couple of years now. I'd love to see how it would work as a modern Stocker but I'm not getting into "collecting" to build one. Still too many Fieros sitting in junkyards.

Back in 73-74 I got a Corvair turbo powered dune buggy from Div ll tech director John Biedenkapp. It was on a shortened VW pan. Fun car but hard to drive. Tried it in a couple parking lot events but with the short wheelbase and rear overhang, if you were in a corner and got on it, it would stop going around the corner when it got boost. Only car I ever had that would actually tote the wheels on the street.

Billy, as you know, the 140/135s are natural R/S cars. Better than Q/S but still needs another 5 HP off. At 130 HP the Monza 4drs and Corsas would be natural T/S cars. Now that would be interesting.
