Default OEM methanol injection: 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire turbocharged V8

Hey gang,

I just found this old American television commercial on YouTube and thought you guys would get a kick out of it here. No hits on a search for jetfire here.

Looks like pre-turbo spray from the factory!!

Worthy of note is the non intercooled turbo and the high compression @ 10.25:1.

The Oldsmobile appears to be blowing past a 1962 Mercedes 180 at ~17 seconds into the clip.
