and see an 800 HP 2.0L Turbo. If that's not enough there are two that I know of that crank out over 1000 HP. Search YouTube for 4G63 and look for Shep and Rau.
By contrast a Cosworth Formula One 3.0L V10 engine produces 935 HP at
18,000 RPM. It costs $125,000 and is only good for 750 miles.

Uh-huh. So you compare 8.4 L and turbocharging, with 3.0 L and normally aspirated. Yeah, right. And a Civic is faster to 60 than a Freighliner too.

600HP is 600HP. I certainly wouldn't mind having it.But they didn't.
No need for apologies.
8.4L is around 512 cubic inches. 600 horses out of 512 cubic inches in a factory engine, while not groundbreaking, is still pretty dang good.

Bugatti Veyron. 1001 HP (16-litre engine).

FWIW, the stock Viper engine is amazingly under-stressed, even at 600 horsepower. The aftermarket easily gets well over 1200 long-term reliable rear-wheel horses out of that big (although still smaller than the Veyron engine) V10.
