Its awsome hearing those engines. I've went to the USGP in indy for the last 3 years. The v-10's sounded the best but the 2.4l v-8's dont sound much different, the engine sound is unlike anything, and you can feel the misfire from the traction control though your feet in the stands.

some people just cant appreciate anything other than low revving V8. You would be stupid not to appreciate then engineering of a F1 engine that revs up to 20k rpms for a couple hours and idles higher than most LS1s can rev to.

How much displacement are the F1 cars running?

That v-10 is a 3 liter, they all run 2.4l v-8's now.
Not sure on CID. Dont think they would release that because of the metric system.

3 liters is 183 cubic inches...what do you mean they won't release the info because of the metric system?

Yup the FIA decided to make things more fair and economical, to help balance things out and make the lower teams competitive and make things safer, decided to make all teams switch to v-8's that make around 750hp and rev to more than 20,000 rpm.

At the end of 2005, the last season where the regulations allowed 3litre engines with 10 cylinders, some engines were producing more than 980hp and running very close to the 1000hp mark, a figure that was never reached since the ban on turbo engines.

Yeah those cars were amazingly quick at the end of the V10 era. I think Honda did a quarter mile run in the 8s and let's put it this way: Traction was VERY limited lol.
