[Xlinx]

First of all.... I've been in a Rx7 that runs 7.5 in the quarter, and that was by no means a professional drag car (although they were running slicks). 900 hp is entirely possible... add the third rotor and some quality aftermarket parts (notice I did say the 3rd rotor). I'm sure there are professional drag versions of the rx7 that have more than that...

The Rx8 is stock 2 rotor 250 hp no turbo. While the car itself isnt as impressive as the Rx7, the engine is a marvel of mechanical engineering. A stock Rx7 turbo came with 300 but with an inexpensive chip the hp could be boosted to 400+. That’s a grand total of about 35 dollars in mods to have an Rx7 outperform a 4 cylinder pos with thousands of dollars of mods. Also with a good aftermarket intercooler (admittedly a necessity), the rotary engine is completely reliable. The only part that lowered the reliability was the heat generated by the turbos. The rotary itself is probably the most reliable engine on earth since it, idealistically, has 4 moving parts.

Also I wasn’t talking about newbie-ness being a factor of making stupid posts (in which you have infinitely more experience then me), but more a knowledge of general automotive mechanical operations (in which doubt any of you hold an edge over me).

Good day.
