Read the Unfair Advantage. those engineers were arrogant idiots. Mark Donahue showed them how to build a motor

Those aluminum ... ( 10 months ago by mickd01)

Those aluminum block Chevy V8's were around 740HP in the McLaren M8 and the 12 cylinder turbo motor of the Porsche 917/30 in race trim was easily 1100HP. In qualifying with 39 psi boost they were making 1500HP. Went 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, 0-200 in 10.9, top speed over 250mph with the 39 psi boost. The McLaren was 480 cu. in., 7,867 cc. The Porsche 917/30 was 5,400 cc, 330 cu. in. The Porsche was champ in '73 Can Am, trounced McLaren. Porsche won all 8 races, Donahue won 6 in the 917/30.

The McLaren here ... ( 10 months ago by golfer0000001)

The McLaren here was the M20. It still had 740bhp but it was 8112cc Chevy V8. The 917/30did have up to 1580bhp at full boost which makes it the most powerful racer ever. I can't wait to get the DVD. The veyron is weak compared to the 917/30. 580 less bhp with 4 more cylinders, 2 more turbos and an engine 2.6 litres bigger. I guess the boost from the veyron can't be anywhere near 39psi (2.7 bar)

Those 9,000hp motors are good for a quarter mile between total tear down. Apples and oranges.

yes,but the 917/30 was never intended as a road-legal car
for your info the Brabham-BMW BT52 of 1983 made over 1400hp from a turbocharged 1,5litre straight 4,based on a BMW 1960's roadcar engine
the Brabham-BMW BT52 had 5,6bars in qualifying

Hi Alex - well we note:
"for your info the Brabham-BMW BT52 of 1983 made over 1400hp from a turbocharged 1,5litre" -
well that is a really boring thing to drive - no torque at all - extremly peaky Performance -Way off the REAL thing - the PORSCHES! that's why almost nobody noted ever the BMWs effort - whereevery EVERYBODY knows the gruelsome PORSCHE 917 - the all-time pineacle in motorsport-history/ most likely forever!
That's why i've got two PORSCHEs in my garage!

Who needs torque in ... ( 8 months ago by AlexDeLarge90)

Who needs torque in Formula 1? Brabham won the 1983 title with BMW. Nelson Piquet was world champion. Unlike CanAm where there was no upper limit for displacement F1 had a rule of 1,5litre max for a turboengine.
The fact is the M10 BMW engine was designed in 1961 for roadcars and has been voted by a panel of experts as one of the 10 best engines of all time.
And the Porsche 956/962 stayed competitive from 1982-1994, a lot longer than the 917.
You can't drive a 917 on the road either..

At least BMW is ... ( 8 months ago by AlexDeLarge90)

At least BMW is doing well in F1 now whereas Porsche isn't in it at all. Last time they were involved was in 1992 when they designed an useless V12 for team Footwork. It was so heavy and underpowered the team switched to Judd V8's mid-season.
And if you want torque buy yourself a turbo-diesel or a huge american big block V8,like a Chevy 500cubic inch V8 crate engine,THOSE have torque
A little R&D would have turned the Ferrari 512M into a 917 beater

These don't have 9000HP if thats what you mean. Or are you talking about Top fuelers.

Hi folks!
The most astonishing race car ever.
Is there any one who know the name of the movie the clip is taken from?
I have been searching for it for years, ever since my VHS-copy got ruined...
No guesses please.
