Yes I do but I try not to think about it - I miss them too muchn smikle wrote:remember when the V10's were around? i really like the ear splitting 900+hp..
I dunno, the 770hp figure is what I've heard about them at the start of the freeze, with 750hp from the others (and indeed, Toyota at 740hp). I've read these ages ago, so I can't find the source again, but I'd guess the Ferraris and McLarens would indeed be past 780hp, perhaps even closing on 790hp?Scotracer wrote:I believe the Ferrari and Mclaren engines are around the 770BHP mark. Just rumours from sources that I have. Although, Honda and Renault are claiming they are 40-50BHP off the top 2 so Mclaren and Ferrari may be pushing 780BHP - the values the teams had at the end of 2006.
Plenty of power
Well if you use the only semi-official data I have for 2006:Metar wrote:I dunno, the 770hp figure is what I've heard about them at the start of the freeze, with 750hp from the others (and indeed, Toyota at 740hp).

How about the 1000+ hp turbo engines of the 80s... ?n smikle wrote:remember when the V10's were around? i really like the ear splitting 900+hp..
Can somebody actually hear hp?... the V-8 rev higher than the V-10s, and now that TC is gone I think the v-8's are sounding much better than they ever have. The V-10's were quiter and an much lower tone than the current v-8's... and what about twhen the V-8 were pushing 21K rpm?Scotracer wrote:Yes I do but I try not to think about it - I miss them too muchn smikle wrote:remember when the V10's were around? i really like the ear splitting 900+hp..
Sorry but I completely disagree. Have you ever attended F1 races from both eras (late V10 era) to compare?ISLAMATRON wrote:Can somebody actually hear hp?... the V-8 rev higher than the V-10s, and now that TC is gone I think the v-8's are sounding much better than they ever have.

I dont remember any V-10's approaching 19.5K, but maybe they did.
My rotary is probably louder than all of them but it definatly doesnt have the same hp... my main point is that you cant actually hear HP, even on naturally aspirated engines.
Scotracer wrote:Hmm, I'm not too sure your rotary would be as loud. The V10 F1 cars is the loudest thing I've ever heard apart from a Top Fuel dragster. The V8s aren't much quieter but it is noticeable at the track -- especially the Toyota engine, it's actually quite quiet.
I believe the V10s were in the region of 140dB+ and the V8s are 130dB+
