Yes, because the cost of a 20b or a 4 rotor would have been the same as a v8. Its a drag car, they probably didn't care much about keeping "the soul" of the car, just going fast.

Theres an episode of Pink's All Out with Rotary Performance's USA flag FD. Too bad it loses, did a damn good job, though.

So having a rotary in it would have kept his steering wheel from coming off
I thought that is why he lost?

well if he know about rotarys he wouldnt have gained so much weight so in turn he would have not had to put a detachable steering wheel its just that simple did you see what i tight fit he was if he knew about the rotary he wouldnt have ever bought the car and used like a camero or something easier.

Only Pinks episode I saw with a 7 in it was the one with a 2nd Gen versus a little pink Civic. 2nd Gen whooped its ***. I was yelling at the TV, cheering for it. That 7 pulled, good turbo.

How in the hell did the engine swap force the installation of a removable steering wheel. Are you serious?
