Lusted after the six cylinder version of that aircooled engine for

I had the 4 carb Corvair. If you ran it flat out you needed 100 octane
avgas or it would melt. The turbo was also easy to melt.

In high school some older kids made one of them go a little too fast
and it went airborne. One of them didn't survive the flight.
