Is that supposed to be a comeback?

Do you even HAVE a point to what youre saying?

How did you get fuel economy with a rotary anyway?

Good job dodging there buddy... first its "v8 7s get spanked" then its "you cant put a big block in a FB" and now its... fuel economy with 500 whp engines.

Also, FWIW, you could get good fuel economy with a 500 whp turbo LS1 granted the cam/heads were stock and you stayed out of boost

I never said you cant put a BBC in a FB and neither did I say you cant get good mileage out of a 500whp rotary...... I said, that if you have or go after 500hp the last thing on your mind is fuel economy...

Then where the hell is your "I doubt it" comment? Why still backpedaling on your bullshit about how v8 rx7s lose street races?

And I never said MPG is the primary concern or an explicit goal, but youd still have more of it with a piston engine than a rotary.

I swear that if I could post those vids I would.... Im not talking ****, nor am I hating on the v8 community, but I saw what I saw and in those particular vids, the 7 lost every time...

However while searching for the vid I found one that Im not quite sure if the 7 had a v8 in it, it was a 2nd gen against a ws6 and slapped it up(the 7 beat the ws6)....

I'm familiar with Subaru as well, I have an '05 Impreza in the garage. Do you want a cookie?


You sir, are one who talks a lot of ****. What does your car run exactly? Same question as posed previously. Put up or shut up. I've got a friend with a camera mount, I'll be sure to video embarassing plenty of rotary cars (if I can find any running locally, the fast ones seem to blow up every year... and I'm not being sarcastic).

Sorry to crap on your thread Honda man. I'm done now, promise.
I love you for posting that. I noticed alot of people have big plans on this forum and never go through with them.

God bless you ham-boi.

At least he's built a car instead of showing everyone pictures of stuff.
