Reply to "What do you guys think of..."

I believe they are still 3.0 liter V10 engines with standard valves actuated by nitrogen, not springs. Thats only 300cc per cylinder (a Cleveland is 720cc per cylinder). Running exotic fuels making over 300 bhp per liter. A short stroke, lightweight crankshaft; a lot of exotic, lightweight materials; high temp coatings; low friction coatings; precision machine work. Every rotating part lightened & balanced to perfection. Every operating parameter monitored by sensors & analyzed in real time. The on board engine management system is running extraordinary adaptive software, and allows the pit crew to both monitor and make adjustments remotely during the race.

I tried to find an exploded view on the internet for you but came up empty handed.

They used to run about 12,000 rpm until the nitrogen actuated valve gear allowed them to make the jump to 18,000 rpm.

I'm still at work, time to jump in the Pantera and head home at about 3000 rpm! LOL

I have a buttery nipple waiting for me! Maybe tonight would be a good night for the hot tub, what do you think?

enjoy your weekend my friends, George
