Who wants to hear an I6 rev to 20,000RPM?

At the end if the day its still a Honda. Who's engine still holds the fastest N/A production vehicle speed record?

I feel like I lose a brain cell every time I read one your posts.

Honda used to be absolutely amazing. Lots of this technology found it's way into the S600, including a chain drive :)

yeah, because chain drive was futuristic technology by the 60's

I'm pretty sure he just meant it was different? But hey, I don't know everything.

I think what I really like about it is the complete devotion to doing what works best. Barrel-shaped camshafts, a 13-piece crankshaft, roller bearings everywhere... It's cool to see zero compromises in the production of an engine.

btw Elva, I love the new sig pic!!

It was meant tongue-in-cheek, but it's still a cool feature alongside everything else that was fairly revolutionary.

Sounds amazingly like a smaller version of the V10 F1 engines - the Williams revving to 19000RPM was awesome (even though Ferrari obviously dominated that period).

You mean the Ford engine? Yea it was pretty awesome. Ford sure knows how to make them!

So who wants to rev their m20 to 20,000 rpm and post a video of what it sounds like? For science! :D

I believe it would sound like clattering broken metal.

Naaahhhh, it would probably sound normal, then wicked, then insane, then like the devil on crack gargling gasoline, then make loud bang then be quiet in record time...

[CorvallisBMW]

That actually sounds like a lot of fun

If I had an m20 I was gonna scrap or something I'd do it but I don't have anything laying around:(
