Ferrari has at least 50 more hp than honda for sure, and so does mercedes...
i am not sure about now, but they used to have VTEC in F1 in the late 80s didn't they?
the VTEC was orginally came from F1

I'm reasonbly certain that ALL of them can (and do) rev safely to at least 18,000 RPM.

The NHRA claims 8,000 HP and 6,000 HP is the most often quoted (and in my mind, believable) figure:

I'm sure some overly-enthusastic people out there CLAIM they make "10,000 HP," but that doesn't mean it's fact.
They aren't normally aspirated, either.
The engines we're discussing are.
And the engines we're discussing burn gasoline (only) and can run for more than 1,320 feet before requiring a complete teardown/rebuild.

Here's Shirley Muldowney's website, which claims 5,000 HP for her top fuel dragster:

Tony Schumacher (current) claims "6,000 plus" HP for his top fuel dragster.
http://www.tonyschumacher.com/dragster.shtml
None of those engines are producing anything close to 10,000 HP.
