Man, after this I am starting not to like rotaries, my ears are bleeding. I am thinking that for sure mine is too quiet.

The car is a full tube chassis, NA PP 20B. It just sounds so crisp and mean. When you turbo a car, you just lose the crispness. The howl reminds me of early 80's F1 cars like the Alfa Romeo's and the Ferrari's. They made your hair stand on end as they screamed at 14,000 rpm with 12 cylinders.

The only thing that comes close today are cars like the one in the video. Just fantastic.

Love the sound of rotaries.

See, that right there is why I'm never going to be able to retire. Because, I WILL have a Pport in my car some day..darn fiscal responsibility.

Evil timing too.. I literally just spent the last 20 minutes playing with cashing in points for flights down to the Daytona 24 hour....
