Thanks for sharing the video. Pretty amazing that they were able to squeeze that much power from a 4 cylinder engine.
Kind of hard to imagine that a turbo 4 cylinder from the 80's makes more power than the turbo V6's we have today (albeit not that much more). I'm curious what the limitations are on the current engines that keep them from making the same power? Off the top of my head, I'd assume the cap that they place on the rev limit these days as well as the fuel flow rate.
