Thats so stupid its awesome!

that's insane. I actually like the way the car looks stretched out like that. it makes it look more like a supercar.

Has anyone ever heard of these small displacement GM Powertech v8's? I've never heard of them and cant find any info online...

Powertech is a chrysler nameplate

Blasphemy!

ARTICLE 5: ENGINE
5.2 Other means of propulsion:
5.2.1 The use of any device, other than the 2.4 litre, four stroke engine described in 5.1 above and one KERS, to power the car, is not permitted.
5.2.2 With the exception of one fully charged KERS, the total amount of recoverable energy stored on the car must not exceed 300kJ. Any which may be recovered at a rate greater than 2kW must not exceed 20kJ.
5.2.3 The maximum power, in or out, of any KERS must not exceed 60kW.
Energy released from the KERS may not exceed 400kJ in any one lap.
Measurements will be taken at the connection to the rear wheel drivetrain.
5.2.4 The amount of stored energy in any KERS may not be increased whilst the car is stationary during a race pit stop.
Release of power from any such system must remain under the complete control of the driver at all times the car is on the track.
5.2.5 Cars must be fitted with homologated sensors which provide all necessary signals to the SDR in order to verify the requirements above are being respected.

2.4l, but I'm not here to split hairs

Why bring up F1 engines? They are in a completely different universe from the above mentioned 2.8L V8

just to make the point that displacement isn't everything and there are low displacement, high horse power v8s out there. not everyone has the big block mentality.

Those high hp small displacement motors need to be a certain temp before you can even turn them over. (the tolerances are that tight.) they require work fairly often. (400-500 miles right?) and are made of space age materials. There really is no comparing them with a big block. ($$$$/hp vs $$$$$$$$$$$$$/hp)
