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.  SignatureGyz Everyone thinks they know how to drive.

And a Civic is faster to 60 than a Freighliner too. > -- > Gyz > > Everyone thinks they know how to drive. > Everyone thinks they are good drivers. 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. >> oldcorvet...@gmail.com wrote: >>> To see the link go to [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> Everyone thinks they know how to drive. >> Everyone thinks they are good drivers. > 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? 600HP is 600HP. I certainly wouldn't mind having it. > Using displacement for HP is real low-tech - even Ford could do that.

No need for apologies. >>> oldcorvet...@gmail.com wrote: >>>> To see the link go to [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >>> Everyone thinks they know how to drive. >>> Everyone thinks they are good drivers. > 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? 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.

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. That's amazing! More amazing is using a 65 hp engine, a 1940 J-3 Cub could carry two people to 11,500 feet without the benefit of roads. A car needs only enough power to pull itself continuously at mvgw up a 7500 ft. altitude 6% grade at 75 mph on a 100 degree F. standard barometric pressure day. Anything less is inadequate performance. Anything more is wasteful and the government will soon put the brakes on it. Get over your horsepower race of the 1950s. Those '57 Pontiacs 347 c.i. V-8s could outrun anything except the gas pumps, for about 20 minutes tops. By then, the valves would burn and warp and the Hydramatic would blow.
