For the money it cost to put in a LS1 they could have just hooked up the 13B! I don't get why there are guys that want a rx7 and then just put a V8 in it. Just buy a V8 powered car. Really now!

A fast car is a fast car. How you decide to get there is your own business and any route you choose will have pros and cons.

This particular race looks like a good match that was decided on the launch. I'm just bummed Howard Coleman never got to do his "Gunfight at the OK Corral" so we'd have had some hard data to go on.

The FD that won probably used up half a tank of gas in that race. At least the other FD can claim he got better gas mileage

amount of moving parts:
Ls1: 20,000
Rotary: 3

Less is More.

Lol biased people are funny. And I know most the V8 guys aren't biased, but rather like poking some fun to watch the biased rotary owners get pissed off. hahaha either way it's funny. Ne ways pros to both those cars. Looked like it was wet out too so that must have been a fun traction battle.

Btw both the rotary and the LS motors have their benefits.
