I believe the hotter versions were called Monza's. They were capable of about 115-120 mph. The rear weight did cause the rear end to slide around in a sharp corner at speed. Once side ways they were likely to roll.
I was around in those days and couple of my young friends did flip these cars.
They weren't nearly as much fun as the later Chevells and Camero's, Fairlanes and Mustangs. But more fun than a Chevy II
I always thought they were trying to produce a sporty VW bug with the Corvair
