i understand the swaps..but then they say because rotary's are unreliable , and not as fast as ls1's..then they shouldnt be driving the car, because all my three rotary's have been reliable..never had any major problems..just random stuff, and rotary's can be just as quick if you know what the hell you are doing..anybody can say nice rx7,but i dont know anything about them so i'll pay some-one to put a american motor in it..then i'll know something about it..

in all honesty i really hate 2 say this since ive had a fast rotary(10sec pass) 460rwhp*low boost*.. but the amount of very fast rx7s with rotarys are far and few.. compared 2 ls1's,ive never had any major issues with my fd besides 1blown motor which was all my fault... me myself iam trying the v8 swap jus 2 see what all the hype is about... i recently went for a ride in "2mchpwr" 's v8 fd.. and iam speechless 2 say the least... i love rotary rx7s but b4 any1 knocks the v8 swap they should find some1 local and go for a ride.. and iam sure ull take a liking 2 it.....

thanks dj. nice meeting you and good luck with the swap. can't wait to see it.
FYI...the ride i gave you was just a little taste. you can't push a car with this much power on the street with normal street tires. come to an autocross event when i have stickies on to really feel what the car can do
