Absolutely right. There's a remarkable 'continuity' through all the rotary powered cars built by Mazda. My new '74 RX4 coupe, an '80 10th anniversary RX7, and now the 3rd gen all have had a genetic strain that runs through them. You feel it when you get in, or open the hood. However, with the thermal reactor/carb being replaced by a catalytic convertor/ fuel injection, and an ECU, the old explosion within the exhaust 2 minutes after you've shut it down is gone!

Did you do the old trick we did, rev the engine to 7000 and floor it as you turn off the ignition! Now that was..

Mine seemed to do a good job just shutting it off. I would park my car in the back yard of our home, and by the time I made it to the front door...kapow! Everyone knew exactly what time I was coming in.....
