ok now this isnt truely on topic but it deals with two stroke engines.
since alot of ppl are in search of the fastest car, why dont some car companiany (ford honda porche) make a full blown perpuse built speed car, like all carbonfiber and shuch. but heres the kicker
could you imagine a 457ci 12 cylinder TWO STROKE!!! the rpms would be increadible, it probably wouldnt launch that great but imagine that top speed.
LOL. That would be something to see, but the RPM's still wouldn't be that much higher due to the necesary weight of the pistons, con rods, and crank to be able to handle that much power. Plus 2 strokes are waaay less fuel efficient than four strokes.
There are some high revving 2 strokes out there too though. Look at some of the crotch rockets... a lot of them can go to 16000 RPM.
And some 4 stroke car engines can hit good RPMs too. I've got a 4 cyllinder Quad carburetted 2.0L racing engine that I can get up to 12000 with.
