That's true and all but you still have to flow enough air at 19k to make it and that's where the technology comes in.
EDIT: Wait, found this. pneumatic valve springs...

I heard from a dealer that they were putting the 2.4 V8 into the 2009 S2000.

It's the redline that makes all the power.
hp=(RPM*Torque)/5252
800hp=(19000*T)/5252
So 221 ft/lbs of torque at 19,000 make 800hp. The S2000 with a 9K redline make power in a similar way.

Problem is that an F1 engine is built to only last a few hunderd km's. Then it needs to be rebuild and after a few races it's over and out with it. Therefore it can produce those enormous rpm's etc... But only for a very short life 
F20C is second best, although sometimes I wish it could rev up to 10k

this may be a stupid question, and totally unrelated to the topic, but can someone please tell me when 5252 comes from? my physics teacher and i couldnt figure it out
Why they chose 5252 could probably be found with google, but I suspect it has something to do with lineing up ft/lbs with an actual horses ability to do work.
OK I googled it:

I guess high compression helps, huh?
