I think HEMI had an RX7 drag car in his family... His dad?

They make lots of noise,but not much torque.
We ran against them in SCCA Can Am back in the mid 80s.
There were 5 liter SBCs,Cosworth V8s,Hart 2 Liters,BMW 2 Liters,etc.
The only ones required to run a muffler were the rotarys.And they were still irratating.

I think Kartbreaker is right.

i think that Ckustoms and Radshit both have offspring that are big into boosted mazda rotaries.

[Deyomatic]

I didn't think Radshit was old enough to have a child with a driver's license. I might be wrong.

Well shit, I guess the Fountain of Youth must be hiding behind all of the cool projects he's got in the garage. No wonder I didn't see it.

Rad is an old fart but he's alright. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I love the roatary engines. We have ran em since the inception of the R100 in 69. My last rotary was in an 82.
I have a project in mind for one but it has to be a 13B turbo version. They were cranking out close to 200 hp and under 1.3L. Not traditional but would be different for a lakes type of a look. Hide all of it under the hood and run it through the 5 speed. Lotsa shifting and lotsa RPM.

They had the 93's down to 14.0 flat at 90mph in the 1/4 and that was at 2850 lbs. Mine should weigh in at 1650 or so. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
