I found out about these cars last year and I would love to have one. I have never seen one in person or even seen pictures of a restored one. I think it is awesome that in 63 the car came from the factory with mechanical meth injection which they called "Rocket fuel". As mentioned this was for knock supression. They were so worried about knock they actually used 6.5:1 compression pistons. And yes many of the ww2 planes including the B17 were twincharged.
I think Porsche was the first with vvt.
