I would have a witty comment in defense of it because of how badass something so small with so little displacement can make power, but the fact is, you're right.
Then again do they really go through that many more engine overhauls then any other 7 second car? I dont know any 7 second cars other than John Shepard's off the top of my head. Clearly there are plenty, especially in the domestic world.

Not to go tooo too far off topic, but I caught Abel Ibarra dusting off his old RX-8 at Irwindale 1/8th mile a few months ago. I was at the top end of the track watching and he cuts off at about 500ft. Still made a 4.73 pass and the Irwindale track record.
vid of the pass, but I didn't shoot it:
YouTube - Flaco Racing at Irwindale 10/4/07

Whats the fastest street car rotary out there? The one on the track in the picture isn't a DD. And I have a feeling a piston car thats a street car is still faster out there. I mean its cool that they're tiny and make power. But they can't compete with the big boys of piston engines.

I have no idea, maybe someone on here does? The entire piston rotary thing doesn't mean shit to me, if its a nice car and makes gobs of power who cares if it has pistons or triangles.. honestly I don't understand why piston people hate on rotarys and why rotary people hate on pistons... who fucking cares

wow, you make alot of sense comparing 1.2 and 1.3 liter engines to engines with displacement of 5.0 and bigger. Get a life. If you dont think that this is impressive, then you are a fucking idiot.
