Nope, I don't give a damn how small you can make a rotory and how much hp you can get out of it.
They have @SS for gas mileage, I can't believe the epa lets them put those cars on the road, and the wankel burns motors.
Hence the reason my friend has an RX-7 sitting on his lawn covered in weeds... just like the 1977 Firebird Espirit 301 next to it (blown head gaskets etc etc etc).
How long does an LS1 last??? Is the answer more than 70,000 miles, how long does ANY engine last compared to a rotory? Look at an Evo engine, or the 400 hp turbo RSX's that people drive out here. They all have better gas mileage and last a hell of a lot longer.
Hell if I ran a 25-35 nitrous shot every time I hit the pedal it would have lasted longer than a wankel. My friends dad got tired of rebuilding/replacing parts and bought an SUV and gave up racing the thing.

the wankel is the motor, it's named after the german Engineer Felix Wankel who invented it.
No to mention that the rotary motor is one of the best Power plants for racing ever designed. It doesn't do **** for reliability but Mazda Swept the Racing World for many years until the sanctioning bodies made them illegal to use in competition.
A high compression 20b (2.0L 3 rotor ) N/A motor can make over 600hp. Don't hate on a motor because you don't understand it.

or just take the turbo off the rx and do a all motor to all motor comparsion, your taking into account the turbo for the rx which in talking about a motor a turbo is not a part of the motor... but dont get me wrong because i like rx's and i love the motor they put in them there is just no replacement for displacement

Remarkable Genesis, the syntax in the last post preceding this one looks remarkably identical to the last. Hrmmmm.... reneging on our past opinions? The rotary is a GREAT motor and VERY relialbe if the asshats who owned them took better care of them (not offence to those who do) you DO NOT shut it down without letting it cool off first, you DO NOT move the car until it is warmed decently, and DO NOT exceed 3K until its fully heated up. There are lots of other little tips im sure, but i dont own one, so i have not picked up on them.

Nah, it really was my brother in law not just syntax...
We play starcraft together and he types the same way I do.
I jumped around with the cp console putting the same message up for awhile last night. He also pissed off some guy in an MR2 forum and one of the admin guys as well.
I've only seen 1 RX7 at the local high school around here. I don't have any idea what they are about, I didn't even know they were turbocharged.
