anyone got A26 in a FD??

I recently purchased a RX7 book.
and its a Must have for all you
RX7, FD enthrusiast. Great coffee table book.

Anyways..

A26 is a 4 rotor Monster. Basically 2 13b's sandwiched together.
In teh book it say it puts out 600hp at 8k rpms, Natural aspirated.

I know there is alot of talk of 20bs and etc.

BUT anyone out there with DEEP enough POCKETS
to be runnig a 4 Rotor A26??

Someone said earlier that the block alone is upwards of 100K+. If someone spends 100K on an FD I will personally come to their house and smack them. Seriously people, I know that we all love our cars, but with 100,000$ there are a couple other cars that I would rather have.

i hate car forums....

and honestly anyone running a 4 rotor is probably racing the thing a ton and rarely reads rx7club.com....why cause he doesnt drive an rx7 he drives a race car.

there is video some wheres of a 4 rotor running a 10 down a drag strip..yeah it sounded mean but guys do 7s with 2 rotors....

Ok.. it isn't realistic..

But there are some people out there with MONEY to burn..
When you worth millions and millions.. What the heck is 100K??

Having a 4rotor A26 would be bragging rights. and imagine putting
a turbo on it..

wonder if Jimlab would be man enough for that kind of swap...
Maybe Gmonsen, Jason, or other big timers..

20Bs are still pricey but eventually will be in reach for use Average Joes.
eventually 4 rotors will...

Damn imagine a 6 rotor.

BTW the Book also says the JDMs Cosmos came stock with 20B's..

I guess that makes sense.. but if you really had millions to work with, why would you buy and rx in the first place? **** if moneys not a problem, and 100k is a drop in the can, save up and buy a Mclaren F1 or a Enzo. Hell you could even buy a 911 turbo and spend a couple hundred thousand in parts. then you'd have some serious bragging rights.. When it all comes down to it a FD is mid 15K$ car.. I doubt someone would spend 10x the cars value on just the engine alone.. and If they did they are an *******.

haha if you have millions and millions I wouldn't think you will be here trying to learn or care for the car. When you can purchase another one right off the bat.

Yeah, imagine a 900-lb motor that reaches from the firewall to the front bumper.....
