A lot of yanks do it to all Jap cars, because they have greater knowledge of the V8s.
To be fair, the guy on the bike is pretty damn special to touch the floor mid corner AND on the exit. Awsome skills full stop. Anyone who argues he hasn't needs pointing and laughing at!! As for the LS motor in the RX7, that is a brilliant conversion. Don't get me wrong, a 3 rotor on ITB's would be cooler but lets be honest, its a V8........with an easy 1000+bhp potential! If i want to knock a wall down I wouldn't choose a toffee hammer (1.3 rotary) to hit it a 100 times with. I 'd choose the sledge (6.0 V8) that gets it down in one.....much more satisfying and manly lol.
your comment has so many holes in it...
3 rotor on itb's why? would perform better on a turbo... yes it would sound nicer but not as much fun or power...
why would you want 1000bhp... i mean really especially in a rx7 600-700 is the max you would want or ever need!
then all of a sudden you call it a 1.3 which it isnt lol. well done though
v8's are lazy power a rotary that will rev to 9k easy and with the right components will rev to 16k rpm... i know if it was free what i would choose! a 13 b with billet shaft and rotors run 1.4 - 1.8 bar boost through it and rev to 16k and it would easily piss on a a lazy v8 in terms of fun.
i have found very little on the road that would match my rx7 for pace even before i blew a tip and was running twins... now with a rebuild and single turbo... i know there is nothing near me that would give me much hassle.
I won't lie fella, you obviously know s**t loads more about rotaries than me fella and fair play to you because they are something I'd love to know more about. Awsome bits of kit, I wouldn't argue against them. But as for pace............I'm not going to laugh as I'm bet your car is VERY quick. The cars we drive IN to santapod and drive home again however are passing the quarter in a tad over 9 seconds at 140 odd mph and will charge on to much more. Chalk and cheese end of.
its street legal private class, running in the hks drag champs... plus i bet the cost of his car and engine are about a 10th of the cost of one of your v8's there are 6 sec road legal rotaries in oz...
to go 1000bhp prob would be a triple rotor or a twin rotor with billet shaft and rotors... prob closer to 10-15k for that sort of power... but then you can rev to 16k lol!
i did look at putting a ls in mine when i blew a tip... but i was looking 12-15k to do it right... i do like v8's just not in rx7's lol
