Hey, never said the Rotary was a bad engine guys, I said it was a failed
design because few people bought cars with the motor. Yes it had good HP but
had terrible torque numbers. All the torque was wound up in spinning those
little triangles. I don't know where it ended up numbers wise, but I looked
into RX-7's years back and compared it with the Shelby GLHS. The Shelby was
cheaper and had better numbers across the board. Also had Stealth features,
if you didn't know what that little box could do, it could seriously spank you.

Well ,we were both cruising down I-85 at about 75-80 MPH . I started to
turn my head to the right to look at it , and I guess the guy thought I
wanted to run him . Before I could even get a good look ,this guy was
G-O-N-E . I mean , I nailed the Shelby tryin to catch up , but this little
truck was haulin' some major butt !
Needless to say , I couldn't believe it .
