Listen to 200+hp NA 12A and 13B engines

Hey just finished watching a clip of the Super Special stage of the Acropolis rally in my country Greece.
I saw and heard on that the Super 1600 category cars, which are 1600cc 215hp NA cars.
They sounded cool but they are 4 bangers and I would really like to see and hear how the 200+hp NA 12A, 13B, or even 20B rotary cars sound like.
So if you have a video of 200+ NA rotary rocket, post it here.....
Thanks
Fanis

Go to http://www.mazdatrix.com/ss5movies.htm

The top left video is a 20B drag car revving.

The second row down in the middle is a 12A peripheral port.

They both sound very sweet. But the 3 rotor is the best.

If you really want to hear something cool, do a search on a 4 rotor (787b or something like that) peripheral port Mazda Le Mans car. Sounds kind of like a bridgeport except a lot stronger and 10 times deeper.

In the flesh it sounds like nothing on earth. You could hear it firing up in the pits when you were on the other side of the circuit.

PVC thanks for the link. Altough i have promised to myself that I would buy a 1st gen as a daily driver and spend nothing on it, so I can save for buying the FD, but.... That sounded great man......
God i love rotaries......

That Daytona RX-7 sounded great. That car is a real piece of history, the first of a long string of manufacturers titles for Mazda was won with that car.
