8000 rpm is for girls!!

Cosworth, F1's smallest engine maker, is leading the pack in terms of horse power and revs in 2006, according to an analysis.

Germany's Sport1.de publication printed the results of an apparent acoustic study, showing that Williams' independent Northampton-based supplier is packing the highest revs with its V8.

The analysis, believed to have been conducted by a rival F1 team, estimated that Cosworth is nipping the heels of 20,000 RPM.


Close behind, however, is Mercedes-Benz, generating a maximum of 19,600 revs per minute for the silver McLaren cars. In third and fourth places are Ferrari and BMW, with about 19,000 RPM each.

Hopefully, the next NSX will rev to 10K to outdo the S2000 and keep up with the Italians.

You won't have to go to 10k to beat the S2K, because the redline actually fell a grand with the new motor a few years ago.

Also, it is usually the valve springs that set the barrier. Titanium springs or double springs are an upgrade. A double titanium would be the best!

Cosworth are also the most unreliable in F1 as well... Ferrari are the second most unreliable from my analysis of the first two races... :wink:

...and you are #1 most unpredictable. I post a comment about getting a sex change, and you pass it by? I thought you'd be all over me.

The had to lower the revs when they increased displacement to add torque. Personally I'd give up the extra revs for the torque they added.
