Kind of interesting if you have 20 minutes.

Very Interesting.
Last year Jeff, Darren and myself did a tour of CP/Carrillo ( Pankl)
Absolutely Amazing technology.

I run these in my Super Street car!

OK..... Let's see, 8 F1 pistons or 57.7 house payments?.

Can I have time to think it over?

Times up, no F1 pistons under the Christmas tree this year. So sad, but I'm happy for Larry.

Merry Christmas Barry and Larry!

Yeah that budget is on Mars!

Merry Christmas!

If I can find it, Honda has their 4 stroke pistons scary familiar to those!

My bad, it seems that I needed a math lesson.

The F1 pistons are actually $65,000 EACH. So 8 pistons would cost $520,000, or in relationship to my house payment (at $1,500 each) it would be 346.6 months of payments, or simply 28.8 years.

I need a sponsor to cover that $520,000 purchase (each year).

Close to, or slightly over 5 HP per c.i., for several hours, spread over several sessions, and you only get to have 5 (?) units per season. Oh yeah, only a certain amount of fuel to get it done with.

Anther correction that math is per engine notper year unless only one race. Sorry I see noway to justify the price for what you get vs what anyone else could make for you using all aspects of that piston with any slight twist that walsk araoun any copy rights or pattens. Now saying would be 1500 buck set but thinking well below 65k per piston.
