Ok then. Let me try and clarify Mr. Fuzzy's contention.

You're (reference to Jim Lab) a dumbshit with no rotary.

JimLab's response

Thank you for proving my point.

Did I get that right?

I smelled a ton of bullshit and came in here and saw v8 7's... least I know my sense of smell is still in top shape

Seriously tho, here's how to break it down. Both are effecient in some way, one may be more unique then the other, but one can be more reliable then the other. The only thing that seperates them is:

V8 = Redneck

Rotory = Anything but Redneck

/discussion

edit to add: My N/A was going to be LS1 swapped. But the fun was in the TII

Rotary = failure, from both a physics and a marketing standpoint. End of story.

Besides, most of you crybabies own rotary cars that are no more technologically advanced than a 1953 farm truck. And not much faster.

Pretty good marketing/sales failure.....they made that FAILURE last well over 2 decades and more if you go back closer to your farm truck if you use NSU/ Stillmans
Maybe we should all get more of a K car looking vehicle like yours
