600hp+ K20/24 engines are so well proven they can be built with daily driver reliability using off the shelf parts, and that's a Honda engine utilizing after-market engineering. Now, inject the developments passed down from F1 into those engines and I see no reason why they could not compete with a V8,V10 or V12. Superficially they may not be as cool as a V10, but in terms of performance there are potential significant weight savings. | that's because 4cyl is typically for economical cars...Yaris, Civic, Echo, Tercel, etc...
whereas V10 or V12 have this cool factor...

| Peak power output may be matched, but the power delivery characteristics of an N/A V8 vs a turbo 4 banger would be very different.
Plus *in my opinion* a 4 banger will NEVER sound as good as V8, V10, or V12.
