Fritz is a heck of a driver and represents the rx7 community well. I think that video convinced me to buy another rotary powered car.
If (when) it blows up I can always throw an LS motor in. ��

Now we need to agree on the amount of life insurance coverage I will need on my rotary mechanic. ��

V8 swap at its finest. Sorry if this makes you puke/cry lol this thing is on kijiji BC right now, someone should do us all a favor and buy and part it. Surely someone with a fire chicken could use the engine

It's RHD so I'm cool with that V8 monster and it definitely goes in the face of JDM LOL

However as mentioned it is hard to erase from ones mind or unsee. I just keep staring at the roof line and avoid the hood and I'm all better

This makes me sad. The only thing sadder is a 5.0 Ford in a FB.

It's a perfect fit for me (except for head room w/helmet... damn sunroof) because it requires so much thought and attention. Playing with these cars taught me almost as much about engineering as my BS did.

Part of the draw for me was also the forum. The feeling that rotary enthusiasts are pioneers in a way, playing at the edges of what is known and often making new innovations along the way. It's nice to be a part of that.
This is a great post, agreed and well said, +1000 Intarweb points for you sir
