very impressive RX-7
I just found this on streetfire. Never realized the rpms that those rotary motors are capable of! Import or not this is impressive

I watched the fly-by vid and that thing is nasty. Reading the info in the posts it seems that the car has a lot left in it. 11K rpms is pretty crazy...those rotaries can be crazy when built right. The sound reminds me of a formula race car.

they can be crazy, but they lack in the reliability department. And if i remember correctly, peripheral ported rotaries like that one are very hard to make streetable, i may be wrong though.
