A Tribute to the Rotary Gods
 
SE's are nice, LE's are better.

FC's and turbos, not so much.

FE's have backseats, too many doors.

Sport cars they're not, they also suck.

Give me a 12A.

The 12A’s the only way.

Put on a Nikki.

A Wankel is born.

I knew you'd like that Mike, ranking SE's right up there with LE's.

Thanks Tim, that does roll off the tongue a little better.

We might as well put the 13B's in there too:


A Tribute to the Rotary Gods

SE's are nice, LE's are better and SA's rule.

FC's, turbos and 13B's, not so much.

FE's have backseats and 4 doors, not so cool.

Sport cars they're not, they also suck.

Give me a 12A.

The 12A’s the only way.

OK dudes, I hear you. That wasn't my best poem.

But I appreciate the volumes of feedback, most of it constructive, indicating how I could fix this thing, including the guy who said Trump should be impeached.

I had no idea this thing would go viral.

So I've listened to each and every one of you and would like to suggest the following revisions:


A Tribute to the Rotary Gods

SE's are nice, LE's are better, Felix says SA's are best.

FC's and turbos, overweight bimbos.

FD’s you say? Not so much.

FE's have 4 doors, backseats and eyesores

A sport car you say? I think they suck.

Give me a 12A, a simple epitrochoid

Put on a Nikki, a Wankel is born.


Felix is 115 this August. A god you say?


Maybe.

Have you driven one? It's a very good car. They weigh less than 3000 lbs and they are definitely sports cars with respect to their handling, despite the back seat. It would have been neat to see a shorter wheelbase/2 seat model, but that doesn't make the car not a sports car. Drive any "sporty" sedan, or drive all of them, that have ever been made. then get in a RX-8 and tell me it belongs in the sporty sedan category, rather than the sports car category. Protip: You can't. I'll give you that the wheelbase is longer than I'd prefer, but it seems a bridge too far to say they suck.

If any RX-7 isn't a sports car, you could make a case for the FC (that its more on the grand tourer side of things) but that's nit picking, and coilovers nix the GT aspects.

Cannot disagree, even though it's the slowest RX-7/8 engine, which is why I turned down a GSL-SE for a GSL. There is something intangible but present in the driving experience of a 12a that the fuel injected models don't replicate.
