That's why you never see an NA rotary making big power.

Im not a very big guy or a small guy,but a "short block" 12A takes 2 to carry.. and yes its ball busting

With a new engine design,They should of by now have came out with a boosted version.. but keep in mind.. Rotarys are emssion monsters,and the new design was based mostley to stay away from the bad emission problems the old ones had..

Seriuosly.. 25k on a car to do 10k in mods is not bad, not my cup of tea.. but theres guys spending 20k in mods on a 8k car.
Speed cost.. how fast do you want to go?
I personally dont like the RX8 much,its not inline of a sports car for me..
the 20B should of hit the US,but Mazda market for the US went to shit.They stopped shipping RX7s to the US after the 95 models,but sold them in Japan till 2002.
There could of been alot of bad cars Mazda could of put out,if they would of thought right.. but keep in mind,most car manufactors are not pushing cars "to be the fastest stock"Alot of our cars here are tuned down.From thier sister counter parts..

and most of those honda civic kids aren't going out and spending twenty+ grand on a brand new car only to add another twenty grand in mods. they're starting with an inexpensive platform and putting the bulk of their money into making it perform.

I'd buy one cause I like the looks and I like the way rotaries sound with some exhaust on them. I'd rock a RX-8 6-speed. Speed isn't everything but just slap a turbo onto it, you'll make power if thats what you want.

And because of that I would say standard piston engines have more going for them, but remember that the RX8 is working with a 1.3L too. Imagine a 2 or 3 liter

Just my hypothesis. 3 rotors = more to break as well. Again, I've never owned a rotary and only seen one here and there.
