As with most pipe dreams, build it first then talk the ****.
It seems a lot of people like to brag about a lot of **** and then get blasted for it.
This section is notorious for it - lots of people like to claim they are building a 20B, but very few have one up and running...

I'm trying to figure out if you guys have the same engine bay space I do?? 4 rotor? Where on EARTH are you gonna fit that that, and still have space for anything else to even closely resemble a streetcar? If you're going for a straight up competition car, don't waste your time. Build a tube chassis car, and stick a 4 rotor into it. Gutting and fabricating beyond belief to fit 4 rotors when 2 are tight and 3 take enormous fab work... like RETed said - show me.

indeed... ive had a car and a motor, and all necessary parts sitting in my garage for 2+ years now, and have yet to actually start in on it. there are a great many things involved in building a 3-rotor (not to mention a completely one off 4-rotor)... and the time and money it takes is extrordinary. at this stage in my "build" im really just lacking the time an energy to squeeze building a car into the rest of my every day life. i cant imagine the commitment a 4-rotor would take. but hey, if you think you can do it by all means dont let us stop you

well the car was tuned to drag, but the car can be tuned down a little and be more streetable.
