rotary engines weight less so because of the weight & small engine it can be moved more closer to the middle of the car. for a 50/50 weight dist. Also a small liter can woop a big 3.8 liter V6 *** any day

peejay didn't contradict himself. He said (my translation): "rotary makes less HP/L, but no one should give a **** about HP/L".
