Well... I was lucky enough to be at Katech for the multi hour durability testing of the actual engines used for the 24 hours of La Mans. Very, very impressive power production at unreal RPMs. However, I was sworn to secrecy and can not say a-thing.... but its more than you might imagine.

The engine cost runs right around $130k..... each. If I remember correctly, the valve covers alone were about $1200 a piece.... ouch.
