1200 hp M1. BMWs 4 banger 1.5L F1 motor

[overeasy]

amazing what they can do
with that much horsepower you could hit the throttle too hard in a turn and completely lose it, or just hit the gas at 60 miles an hour and burn out...

i'd still rather have a 190hp N/A lotus elise
one day...

the engineer that designed the M10 block has been quoted as saying something along the lines of; I designed that block, and would have not expected it to hold more that 400hp - how it holds 1200+ is amazing to me"

multi-valve head, buttloads of boost, and fuel that would haze windscreens - thats how you get 1200+ hp from 1500cc

... wow ... 1hp per cc - thats mental.
mind you, what do top fuel drag cars churn out? 5K HP or more? - mind you, that motor only has to hang together for 600 revolutions
