What strikes me is how much the front and rear resemble a Corvair. Wonder which came to the market first and if there was any overlap of design teams. M In a message dated 2/15/2012 11:55:47 A.M. Eas

Thank you for the background. Makes me wonder if the GM's designers ever looked at the Imp. teams. The Imp was in the marketplace first, by five years or so. And there was no overlap of design teams.

I had to look this up because I didn't know. I thought it was a bit interesting what an "Imp" actually is. Strangely, I don't see it as a flattering name for a car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imp C

No, there would be no plans on putting a v8 or even a larger motor in the car. Just what came with it, but, modified for more power. I like the idea of a less than 1000 cc engine. mayf ______________

Nice, but what class would that be? not much fun racing with no rules. A well built imp engine can produce plenty of power > 130hp at about 75kg or less and is original. The car should be well under
