Why have a Rotary when you can have a LS1

Its so funny to see people with the rotary motor saying they are so fast. Its fast but it will break every 10 minutes. wouldn't it be easier to get an LS1 and have torque. Torque is what is fun anyway. My car has an LS1 and it always cranks never leaks oil and will blow a rotary all day.

By god, your right. Your words have shook me to my core and shown me that my rotary is nothing but a piece of junk. Without your inspiration I would be lost in this dark sea of uncertainty as to which motor is better.

I am sure the forum will truly benefit from your post, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

lol.....yeah, LS1 powered cars are kick-***, but YOU don't have one! Prove me wrong, Troll-boy! Take a picture with your LS1 powered car, I want you in a red shirt and flipping me off, okay? As for fast, hell....my AUTOMATIC powered FD has eaten a few LS1 Camaros and Firebirds in its day!

The rotary has the potential of being an absolute beast. You obviously have not ran against a an FD that is running 25+psi with an agressive port job. I think you would be changing your mind rather qiuckly.

But if you like your ls1 swap, that is fine.
