3 Rotor RX-7? Sorry, must've missed that. I was thinking 2, which is a different of what, 350HP? 600 to 900 is possible with the right boost from the turbo. Still, you're comparing an $80,000 vehicle with cars that are around $20,000. It's not really in the same league as any 4-cylinder engine. I could make 2 10-second Civics for that price. Got any dyno charts proving your ECU claim? Adjusting the fuel curve with stock parts for 100HP gain? I won't believe it unless you can prove it.
As for reliability, I've heard the Wankel rotary engines break down more often, and require much more maintenance, which to car freaks isn't bad, but isn't practical for a lot of people.
