I bet that 1.5L engine rev's to 20,000 RPMS, or somewhere in the vicinity, that's how it makes so much power. BTW, where do you find all this stuff S2000Man?
Also, Honda made engines for CART that were the 2.65 Turbo V8.

The F1 cars from the 80s were the 1.5L V6 turbo... those things ran a lot of boost, which is why they were so powerful. The RA167E turbo V6 in the McLaren MP4/4 still holds the record as the most successful car in a season of F1 (IIRC). It won 15 out of 16 races... I think the one it didn't win was when Senna and Prost were battling each other and took each other out.
