It's obvious no one here is smart enough to appreciate the thrill of a fine rotary engine. If you're going to go Japanese, Mazda is the only way to go. Rx7, Rx8, it doesn't matter as long as you have rotary goodness. Imagine virtually no red line and a power to liter ratio that outdoes all but the most highly tuned formula one cars... I’ve seen 3 rotor rx7 engines with just after market turbo kits, intercooler, and exhaust put out an insane 900+hp with no other mods. Not only is the power on the Mazdas amazing, but the handling is about as tight as you can get without going to the 100k+ range. Rx7 stock from the factory pulls a 1 on the skid pad. Until recently Ferrari’s struggled to do that.

For those of you who picked a nice muscle car, I applaud you. And I can also appreciate a nice off road vehicle. But for God's sake, quit fantasizing about those ****ty little 4 cylinder pieces of ****e.
Rotary engine? ROFL. Why even bother buying a car that requires that much maintenance? There's a good reason why no one uses rotary engines anymore. Virtually no redline Also, it is impossible for a RX-7 engine, with just a turbo kit, intercooler, and exhaust, to put out 900+ HP. You're not fooling anyone.

The RX-7 is a great car, but it is costly, and requires a ton of maintenance, so it's not a good daily driver. It's also funny how those 4-cylinder cars pump out over 400HP, and still make great daily drivers and get good gas mileage. Try that with your muscle cars.

You might want to take the time to learn to drive, and learn more about cars before you try to convince us the RX-7 is God's gift to the world. And the RX-8? Eww...
