V8 swaps are a waste of an rx7.

@Lalann Right... with the stock NA rotory hamster wheel this race would have been a total blow-out.

Price wise if you waste as much as it would for the camerro on the RX-7 you will KILL THE CAMERRO!

[383mazda]

@sidefexer Exactly, the rx7 V8 swap is a huge bang for the buck. You could duplicate my car for a little less than 10 grand the way it sat in the video. For twice that you could have a deadly fast car, one that would accelerate, turn and our brake 95% of cars on the road today.

@TheTannerNicholson I don't live in the 80's. I like rx-7's don't get me wrong, I always have. Any RWD sports car and I like it, but rotarys just lack the tq that I feel in love with when I bought my first LS powered car, if you havent driven one yet, try it. This hole "american cars cant turn" has been squashed many many years ago. As for production cars, the king of the nurburgring right now is the viper, and last year was the corvette.

@flagator2009 name one car from the late 80s that handles like an rx7, an american one at that and if its a turbo it can easily break the tires loose. ive got an 88 turbo rx7 i can break the tires loose easy not to mention its fun as shit in the corners.

[flagator2009]

@TheTannerNicholson nothings more fun than a big V8. The problem with rotary is the lack of torque. Nothing more fun than slamming down the throttle and breaking the tires loose. Slam the throttle in a rotary and its almost like nothing happens.

[flagator2009]

@sidefexer yea but youll still have a pieced togather 20 year old car with no warranty, dated styling, ugly interior, no reliabilty the list goes on and on and on.

[TheTannerNicholson]

that was meant for @Lalann

[TheTannerNicholson]

@383mazda thats not what hes saying, he saying the roatary's are on of akind and way more fun that a big heavy v8

None of you have put weight into the factors. Do the math. It doesn't take as much to go as fast.
