they had a twin turbo STI there the dyno before and he only laid down 325whp.... he left abruptly after hubie laid down 378whp with an engine almost half his size....

I would love to pay a dollar to see his face after you show him what a MINI can do.

Dude this is a joke- no one can make that kind of power in a MINI without changing the engine. How far can you drive it before it goes POP!?
Reminds me of those old turbo Formula cars that welded the heads to the block and threw out the engine after each race.
OK I'm totally full of it this is awesome
Here's our new goal- 20 years later, beat the mark set by Formula 1 cars of the mid 80's - this one had 800 horsepower from 1.5 liters

The specs are on the right side of that page if you're interested. I'm sure there were cars with over 1000 I just couldn't find them
Great job guys!
The Honda's regularly topped 1000 bhp in qualifying trim. Plus the cars weighed about 1350 pounds. I think the BMW did too.
I want somathat!

[quote]The turbo drivers finally assumed control as of 1983 - the HP ratings of their 1.5 litre cc engines having become immeasurably high. By 1986 the engines had far exceeded the 1000 HP mark. Some engine manufacturers were no longer able to quote exact power output ratings because the scales of the instruments on their test beds were insufficient.
The BMW four-cylinder unit which powered Nelson Piquet to victory in 1983 produced 1250 HP with certainty, and optimists even spoke of 1300 and 1400 horsepower! Thanks to this mighty little engine, Gerhard Berger achieved a top speed of 351.220 km/h in his Benetton-BMW when qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Full of respect, the Tiroler later admitted that, at this speed, the track appeared to be getting narrower and narrower with every additional km/h...[/quote]
