Don't the current crop of Porsche GT3 and Ferrari 360 GT Race/Road cars use titanium conrods? Surely if they can meet a company like Porsche's reliability standards yet perform so reliably on a track they should be up to the task?


That's all well and good, but I'd want to know what anti-galling treatment the slide faces of the big and small surfaces have had. I'd dare say it's a bit fancier than something an aftermarket conrod manufacturer is going to provide. Also we don't know what alloy they are using. The average piston speed is easy enough to find out and given the F360's 79mm stroke and 8500 rpm redline, this works out to a maximum average piston speed of about 4400 ft/min.
