Fastest Rotary in Puerto Rico...runs 7.21secs down the 1/4mile... not that high of a trap speed either... in a very light weight Starlet...

there's Rotary and then there's Piston Motors... they hold events of just that...here... every other month... god damn Rice Fest... mostly RWD's though... the FWD craze is still just a Street thing over here...

Rotarys are crap cause they dont last, the whole motor is based of seals the seals usually go after 30,000 miles most motors need a rebuild after 30k. Alost of people put ls1s in those cars for the torque. Rotarys make no torque, but yes they are highly effiecent and can be made into drag cars. I have seen 4 rotor motros make as high as 3500hp. Only v8s can do that no import cars can. Though if you want a street car after a certian amount of hp around 600rwhp rotary motors become very very hard to deal with. Some days my friends mid 9 second rx7 would run like a dream and some days it would shake if he got on the gas. He sold it because he had to work on it almost everytime he wanted to take it for a ride.

oh yeah...the guy at the local Dyno... has one with 600whp... rebuilds the motor after every 20 passes down the track... LOL... that has to suck balls...but he says it's actually extremely cheap and simple...so I don't know what to think about that...personally I like Reliability... but to each his own...right?

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-17-2007, 01:40 PM

It is easy the motors only have 4 or 5 moving parts to them, and it is cheap you can get a gasket set for under 500 dollars, but who wants to spend 500 dollars and rebuild there engine twice a year. On high hp applications like his every week lol, now my friend matt has a reliable 450rwhp rx7.

Nah. I've owned too many red cars. Hell, besides the Camaro, I own two red cars now. At least one third of the cars on my street are red. I like to be different. That's ONE reason I switched from the 5.0s a few years back. Probably 3 out of every 4 cars I saw at the street races or the strip were 5.0s. Now I know of only a handful around here, but several of those are lethal.

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-17-2007, 02:08 PM

I know i was joking, but i love red T/As, this is my second, its my favorite color other than SOM. But if i had the money to get the car painted i would just get it painted red again, but a custom red, pearl gold and then candle apple red on top of that, makes a badass red. As for the color you guys have, there are a ton of lt1 cars around here with that color.

Well, fortunately, it's been about 6 months since I saw an F-bod around here the same color as mine. If there were alot of them, I'd do something to customize it and set it apart, as you said you would do to yours if you had the extra coin. But the exterior color had nothing to do with my purchase. The car had 31,000 miles and looked new inside and out. I bought it from a Chevy dealership, and they really gave me a deal since I was paying cash.....a MUCH better deal than I would have expected from a dealership. I would've still bought it if it were piss yellow or puke green!

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-17-2007, 02:38 PM

True, yeah i got mine for ma dealership aswell, 10,700 for a 2000 with 48k miles and i paid and extra 1500 for the 2 year 36kmile extended warrenty, and so far its paid for itself since, i broke ome valve springs and htey couldnt explain why so they dropped a new ls1 in the car. The only mod done to the car when i got it was it was lowered 1 inch all around.
