Cmon, you mean to tell me your not impressed with the work and engineering that went into doing that?

I'll be the first person to argue about the positives vs the negatives of rotary engines. But when I see this, I'm in awe of the work.

Would I do it...no.

Would I shoe-horn a 2JZ into a FD/RX7....Absofugginlutely!!!!!
Learn you will...afraid you must not be...mmmm

Good lord!

That makes the thought of a 3sgte or SR20DET powered SC300/Soarer much more realistic..... torque wise.

Good find!

That 3 rotor most likely is putting down 400-500lb ft of torque...so yeah.
