Or you could go to www.ffwd.com and see an 800 HP 2.0L Turbo. If that's
not enough there are two that I know of that crank out over 1000 HP.
Search YouTube for 4G63 and look for Shep and Rau.

By contrast a Cosworth Formula One 3.0L V10 engine produces 935 HP at
18,000 RPM. It costs $125,000 and is only good for 750 miles.

Uh-huh. So you compare 8.4 L and turbocharging, with 3.0 L and
normally aspirated. Yeah, right. And a Civic is faster to 60 than a
Freighliner too.

 

Not a comparison at all, just stating different approaches to achieve
the same end result. What's so great about getting 600 HP out of 8.4L?
Using displacement for HP is real low-tech - even Ford could do that.
Sorry but I'm not impressed.

 

600HP is 600HP. I certainly wouldn't mind having it.

But they didn't.

No need for apologies.

 

Not a comparison at all, just stating different approaches to achieve

8.4L is around 512 cubic inches. 600 horses out of 512 cubic inches
in a factory engine, while not groundbreaking, is still pretty dang
good.

Bugatti Veyron. 1001 HP (16-litre engine).

And can outrun anything EXCEPT its own case of the uglies. That is one
SERIOUSLY hideous work of styling.

FWIW, the stock Viper engine is amazingly under-stressed, even at 600
horsepower. The aftermarket easily gets well over 1200 long-term
reliable rear-wheel horses out of that big (although still smaller than
the Veyron engine) V10.
