Difference between Honda F1 and Honda Sportsca
Thought I'd share. Came across this from another forum.
From Honda official website...http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents2006/f1catalogue/
Honda F1 engine generates over 720 horsepower out of 2.4L V8 NA engine.
Honda F1 engine pumps up more than 6 times horsepower/weight than Honda S2000.
Honda S2000 engine: 242hp, the 2.2L 4cyl engine weighs approx 200kg(440lbs)
Honda F1 engine: 720+hp, the 2.4L V8 engine weighs approx 95kg(209lbs)
do the math..
Honda F1 engine displaces 2.4L, however the engine inhales 3.2L of air
that translates to 500L of air/second at 19,000rpm
it takes 5.2 seconds for NSX to reach 100km/h
it takes 5.2 seconds for Honda F1 to reach 200km/h
(0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, 100km/h to 200km/h in 1.5 seconds)
The F1 machine can generate 2000kg(4400lbs) of downforce at 300km/h
The machine weighs approx 600kg(1320lbs with driver)...therefore it can go upside down no problem
Letting go a gas pedal in F1 machine = Slamming on brake in NSX
When you leg go a gas padal, the Honda F1 machine creates approx 1.0 deceleration G (same as NSX's full braking capability), if you slam on F1 machine's brake, you will generate 4.5 deceleration G.
The cornering G of Honda F1 is 4.5times greater than NSX's approx 1.0G.
The powersteering for F1 machine is not so that you can steer...the F1 machine is really light, you don't need it
The purpose of F1 powersteering is to fight the G-force during the corner. Therefore the purpose is totally different than passenger vehicles like NSX and S2000.

Another thing they had in common is that while once best in class (Honda F1: from the mid-80s - early 90s / NSX: early - mid 90s / S2000: early - mid 2000s) Honda didn't improve the performance of any of them enough and ultimately because mid-pack runners.

I always thought it was 2.xx seconds, what with the low weight, high hp, and super slicks.

^^^LOL at you 2. These cars make their power at 19k rpms w/ no traction control. They also did not use slicks between 1998 and 2008. How often does an f1 car get below 60 mph. Pretty sure the gearing is not optimized for magazine benchmarks.
Budgy, no just no... Have you ever watched an F1 race? The start is slow for a few secs and then everyone rockets down the starightaway.View any telemetry and you will see the same thing.
