Sven Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ding, ding, ding! *BRM V16 and Maserati V8* Congrats to HS30-H and BayareaZT, you win ummm... major kudos? formula one engines have a 1.7L V8 if I recall.. revs up to 20,000 RPM and idles at 8,000 RPM -Remember that this was a v16 pulling 12000rpm in the early fifties, a 1.5L V16 DOHC(35 degree) with a two-stage centrifugal supercharger, that's simply nuts for the time. I like to jack my speaker volume up and listen to that sound clip. It's very stereo, you can hear the car "around" the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
