Honda F1 Engine Swap for my Del Sol **Big Image!**
I'm wanting to swap this engine into my car:
Yea...right!
This engine is crazy. It's a 1.5L V6 TT. "Detuned" to 680HP @ 14,000 RPM. Look how short the rods are and how little small the stroke is.
I have all the data in "Engine Analyzer Pro." Screenshots:

The late 80's were insane for the F1 forced induction car. At one point they were at 1600hp in a 2,000lb car. At that point they decided it was time to regulate cause it was getting too dangerous.

A v6 making that kinda of power! 
How come in NASCAR (I don't watch) the cars are supercharged (thats what I was told) not turbo charged, wouldn't they get better top-end off a turbo? And also look at the F1 cars' are TT NASCARs' are friggin' v8's.... This just generally confuses me. TT v8's usually kick some major ***. And just look at what the 8 or 9 sec. mustangs are they are turbo'ed. Italian cars are usually v8,v12,h8 right? Can some one find me some good info on Italian cars, I mean what is the huge friggin' hype on them, I mean they can run mid 12's some of them but if I would pay over even just $50,000 bucks on a car I bet I could get it in there and maybe alot more. Why on earth would any one pay over $100 Grand on a car? I mean they look cool but with some fiber glass and too much time and a bit of money you can make any thing look like them. I seen a 91' celica look really close to a Enzo I will look for that pic.

Jeff Gorgon and one F1 driver switched cars for a day and Gordon said the F1 car was more than he could handle cause the g-forces are soo intense. F1 cars are pulling the same g's as fighter jets, now thats just ------- amazing
