For anyone that feels compelled to 'down' small power plants, I offer the following for your *entertainment*:
.
Honda 1.5L 6 cyl F1 engine
1010 horsepower
.
That is correct. 1.5 litre - 1494 cc to be exact - and 1010 horsepower at full boost. 900+ reliable horsepower in 'race' mode.
.
And that was in the mid 80's.
