Well.. it's been a LONG time since those words even crossed my mind (if ever), BUT... the following speedway motors article does describe one... Probably any of us would like to take this one around an autocross track! :) (and it looks cool too... although IMO any car running mini-lite wheels is 'cool'.. )

LOL... I understand Rick, but going thru the article, that's NOT anyone's typical Vega! :)

40 years ago I had some buddies that ran V8 Vegas they were cool, the ones in thread not so cool.

I always considered the Vega and the Pinto to be the WORST American cars ever.... but there's not much that's 'vega' left in that car... :)

How about Chevette, where does it sit.

There's a reason for that.

Was at Chevy when that POS was turned loose. :sad:
Now, some 50 yrs later, my friend has one that's having an LS3 put in it....Damn! What a mess.
Every time I see it, I hit the Tums supply.

The Vega was not a bad looking car they just sucked mechanically. All they required was a 350, TH350 and a narrowed 12 Bolt.

The Motion Vegas looked interesting in pics. Never seen one in person.
