C7 StingRay "Turbo-Jet"?
Hmmm, could it be that we will see this moniker sometime in the C7 generation? GM is trademarking "Turbo-Jet"?

I believe you are confusing the Turbo-Jet big block (396/427/454) cast iron engine that was available starting in 1965, to the little 215 cu in aluminum engine that was available in the Buick and Oldsmobile in the very early 60's(1961-1963). The 215 cu in engine was sold to Rover after it was dropped from the American line.

There were turbojet driven vehicles in the 60's? From an aviation background, I hear turbojet, and think low bypass and the f18?!??! Someone explain please

The 215 was at least available with a turbo charger, and water injection however.

The '72 Monte Carlo Custom I drove in high school had 402 TurboJet in it.
It also had an American Standard toilet for a carburetor. God, that thing drank gas.
