Too big: Fiat's Beast of Turin 181mph in 1912.

28 Litre, or 28,353 c.c., or 1,730.2 cubic inches, or 432.54 cubes per cylinder, it only had 4. 190mm bore and 250 mm stroke, in english thats a bore of 7.48", and a stroke of 9.84". A Ford 5.0 litre or 302 cubes had a bore of 4.00" and a stroke of 3.00". A 572 Big Block Chevy has a bore of 4.500" and a stroke of 4.500". 3- 572 cube BBC engines would only be 1716 cubes with 24 cylinders, the BEAST is 1,730 cubes and 4 cylinders. Hope that helps put things into perspective. Yes, its time for my meds.

Maybe I need a history lesson so I can appreciate them more. Wasn't there a speedster as a game piece in the old Monopoly game?

I thought this was very relative to the Speedster thread. A graphic explanation of why cars lean and tires look oval in old photos. It's because of the camera used - a camera with a focal plane shutter (a slit) moving from bottom to top. This is the animation - I linked to it because it is a 1.3Mb file: http://www.photoplaza.nl/lindolfi/Lartigue3DSlit.gif

Jacques Henri Lartigue famous photo. The animation is by Lindolfi from the LFP Forum.

Lovin' the speedsters.

My personal favorites are the boat-tail/ racer types. It just seems like somethings missing on the rest

I guess I should add mine...
