Ok, it may not be a Cobra, but you gotta love this. Watch the headers and listen to this motor. SWEET! :eek:

If my S/O had a 2 inch stroke and a 3 inch bore, I could probably turn 10K-13K RPM as well?.

It is sweet but I still prefer my 40 year old at 5K-6K RPM.

There is a 19K limit in F1. If not they would be turning well above 20k!

Joe Wicked 05-22-2008 07:58 AM

That is awesome.

azariah2000 05-22-2008 11:20 AM

Nice tune on that motor :)

Doesn't even sound like an engine. Too bad Cosworth is closing up shop in the US.

The first video is of the Arrows F-1 car and it is indeed a Cosworth engine.
It's a 3 Ltr. V-10 that reved to about 18K RPM and made 850ish HP.
The engine that followed when the rules change was inacted was basically the same minus two cylinders.
In V-8 form, we revved the engine to 21K RPM during qualifying (in the Williams car). In 2006 the Cosworth V-8 engine was thought to be amongst the best on the grid (we just didn't have a good car to put it in).

The engines (both V-10 and V-8) actually use a pretty large bore diameter. They're just under 4 inches.
With a displacement of 2.4 ltrs you do the math
on the stroke :MECOOL: (I don't want to have to kill you).

P.S. Ours idled between 2500 and 3000 RPM...
