MD 9 sec. rotary's

i am a newbie to rotary motors ,...a friend of mine told me that at the local track in Md. there is a group of guys who race nothing but rotarys and these guys are going 8's and 9's in the quarter..i was also told for about 3G i could have one built ..Does that sound feasivble....of course i know one would need a good drivetrain to sustain the power..thanks

9's.....well better tripple that dollar amount just for the engine alone, not to mencion the other parts needed to make a car that fast and not break every pass.

lol..not poking fun at you since your a newb... But I'm gonna say HELL NO that's not possible. Turbo kits are $3G's already, ECU?, Downpipe, Midpipe, Exhaust, built engines, intercooler, the list goes on and on

Um, add a 0 to the end of your 3 and you'll be a bit closer. And no group of rotary cars in Md running that fast. Don't know of any at all in the 8's.....yet

I'll get more info. on this...My friend from Puerto Rico and a lot of his buddies told me this....promised 9's for 3g...and guaranteed one good pass...but i don't quite think it will hold up for many passes...like i said i will find out more info. ps: he and his rotary friends race always at Capitol Raceway , Crofton Md.

i have a lot of friends from Puerto Rico and all they build is rotaries and i never heard for 3g getting a 9 sec car. i think most of us that race have spent way more than that and still haven't reach 9 sec or at least i haven't jajaja.
