It's a different engine design, and a cool one at that, but "different" doesn't make it God's gift to mankind.
And how am I a poser? Because I showed you how ******* ridiculous your post was by mocking it?

You're going to get defensiveness on a forum dedicated to rotary engines, and rotary powered vehicles. It's just the nature of it.

this could not be further from the truth, take a stock ls1 motor and a modded 13b and there you go , 13b`s can be very powerfull motors but when they are, they tend not to last long ,and no i am not one of those guys who thinks rotarys are the best thing ever invented and are all powerfull and all that **** , they LIKE ALL ENGINES have there good side and crappy side (one of them is the breaking) but i everytime i see this argument its about how crappy it is and how much better a V8 is and blah blah blah ,V8`s are good but they break too you know and when they break its also a lot of mula
Why cant some people accept what the rotary engine is a small 1.3L(some people think different) engine that can kick *** and rev like crazy !
You would think we got past this already
for the record i like TA`s i think there the best looking F-bodys

I know a guy here in OKC, OK who has an FD that looks identical to mine minus the headlight conversion, and his car is LS1 twin turbo. he has twin T50 ball bearing snails mounted in the bottom of the fenders where the vents are. This car makes 811rwhp, so i think i can justify giving props to a V8 guy once in a while.

thanks. It doesnt take much to make alot of power out of a v8. I use to be a honda guy and are thing was a 4 banger was making 300rwhp. that took alot of work, but a v8 can get that no problem. So forgive me when iam not really impressed by a 700hp v8 with a turbo the size of my 13b. Its fast and cool but not really impressive thats all i was saying. And yes you are on a rx7 forum and i love my 7 more then anything and will defend it against any car. That again is more then you can say...poser.

It's pure physics that displacement makes more power. Anything else is just delusional and twisted. What are you? In 3rd grade?

Thanks for showing me what a poser I am. I am so ashamed Don't get me wrong, I love my FD to death, but I'm not naive (or in your case, delusional) enough to think it's the best car in the world and that nothing could possibly be better. You bet your *** that if I hit the lottery there'd be a Ferrari 360CS sitting next to my FD, with a GT3RS 911 parked outside. But for me, and for now, the FD's a great car and I'm enjoying it a lot.
And I'm still baffled by the people who :aren't impressed" by the numbers this thing put down. 840+rwhp on 91 octane is INSANE. That turbo isn't even close to its efficiency island right now, too, so I'd give the car 1400rwhp easily on race gas. It doesn't matter if it's a 7-liter V8, or a 2.0L 20B, or an 8.3L V10, that's a shedload of horsepower to have under your right foot.

Look at all his posts, whenever someone dissagrees with his thoughts on Race outcomes related with Rotary's, makes a comment to praise the LS1, or even just state simple facts about it - he goes apeshit!
EDIT: I know you this is all you wanted to hear Rich, so sorry for the "******" comment.
