My calculator needed a workout
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.
Too big: Fiat's Beast of Turin 181mph in 1912.

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

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