Power wise i'm in the 360-370ish with about 354 ft-lbs area. i haven't officially dragged the car yet- mod list is pretty extensive and yes this is the same one. Not too many gold FD's out there!

Jeez, I've been looking into V8 swaps for so long now, but I don't think I'd ever do one. I have no problem with other people going them on their cars (your car sounds/looks freaking sweet btw), but I just don't think it's for me...maybe something about the sound.

i've had three 7evens and never had one pop. Yes rotaries are finicky, just saying that the heart of the 7 is a rotary. if i wanted a v8 i woulda got a stang or camaro. why not a 20b swap if more torque is needed.

20b swaps cost HOW much?
when will people get it that no car has a "soul"? make the soul out to be whatever you want it to be.

IMO, a stang or camaro DO NOT look as good as an FD and they don't handle nearly as good, so to tell someone to get a camaro/stang in the first place is stupid.
his money, his choices, and his opinions only matter. the end.

I like both, and i LOOOOOOOOVE the thought of a 20B. But it just isn't realistic to people with a budget.
The soul of a car is whatever you want it to be. When you get to a certain point in your life you stop caring about being unique or the car's "soul" and you want performance, thats why the V8 swap makes so much sense. For the people that aren't insecure about doing something common...its just soooooo right.

If you ever have a chance, take a ride in a LSX equipped FD. It's like night and day.

when your power band shifts from 5500 + in a rotary to 2500 range in a v8... yea its different. even on single turbo rotary making about 400+, you're not gonna have the same torque or power band as a v8 making the same power. Don't get me wrong, I like rotaries a lot, all I was trying to say is that the shift in torque/power is very different.
