Wtf...not in a Cosmo...RX7 okay whatever, but in a Cosmo, leave it alone and learn how they work. A rotary will make insane power despite how small it is...lightweight and better weight distribution. Just keep it well oiled and cool and I'm sure it'll stay reliable.

Too many people disrepspect rotaries. They should learn how different they are and how to build one before doing so..

naaa...

i like making something different and unique.
Whats so cool about a mazda coupe with a rotary?
nothing.. now a mazda that never came here in the states with a badass LS series engine with a ATI is killer.

nobody once talked crap about Z's ive built with V8's, and LS1 powered FC rx7's.
they all thought it was great after then lost to one of them.

I like Z's with badass V8s, but I give more props to people who keep Inline 6 engines in there. Far more.

No different with Mazda cars. I just give more props to people for keeping the rotaries. Yeah they are "torqueless beasts", but even a 20B is rated at 300/300 which probably isnt 100% accurate (more in other words)

well all my Z's still have the 6's in them, but the reason why is they make as much or more torque then V8's.
i dunno i just like being different i guess

Yeah I'm pretty sure thats a Jaguar E-Type...its not a 2000GT though. There were only 167 2000GTs made, so I think all of them will be in a "little" better condition than that

Rotaries actually aren't that lightweight.

They are just small making the distribution better.
