Oh dear. That's like messing with the Mona Lisa

That would be the "Cosworth" Vega. There was also a "Yenko" Vega Stinger.....both rather potent for the times.

Yes there were some marketing issues b/c it was faster than the Corvette at the time. By today's standards both are a snail however.

Clunker for sure....Between my Corvair and my 996 I have a garage full of clunkers I guess... I keep tracking my M96 engine and it keeps not blowing up. Beating the odds!
