@spoonspoon1984 Did you bump your head? Having 300 ft lbs of torque at the flywheel by 2.5k RPM is very usable. A bone stock LS1 is rated at 300 hp but it actually puts that down to the wheels. Not many cars can lay down what they are rated at from the factory. Anyone who knows rotaries is aware of their gas consumption and they are lethargic under 4500 RPM. In the long run the owner will spend less on maintenance and can save for upgrades as a few bolt-ons and 350+ whp is easy
id rather spend my time driving a reliable car more of the time and less time costantly worrying about when my 13b uis gonna throw another temper tantrum.
Well said. Not to mention the gas mileage that you will save. the 13b is a VERY thirsty engine. this is how REAL car guys talk. too many people are stuck on brand/motor/whatever loyalty. I have owned six count them 123456 rx7's all with rotary's and the were all some of the most fun driving experiences that i have had driving, but with grannysspeed shop and hinson both making swapping in such a great motor as the ls1 very easy, if i do get another rx it will be receiving a v8.
Dude idk this stuff doesnt seem right to me, ive watched lots of 500whp stang videos and in every one their gears are just wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh wahhhhhh i mean dude ive got a 600hp (at the flywheel) mach 1 and my 2nd gear is instantly over 3rd takes about 2 seconds to go thru and 4th maybe like 4 or 5 seconds and by that time im doing 130+mph these videos just dont seem like they are 500 rwhp
@CMI1986X64 Really? I think I could beat this rustang with a 350 buick powered 1st gen rx7 at 2300 lbs quite handlely. The 350 buick is the same weight as a 302 ford....450 pounds....now Ill just add an aluminum intake that just took 40 pounds off. Now if i can add boost to the car like good ol ford boy did it might just equal things out. I will take the "tubs and twins" twin turbo setup for 3 grand. lets race.....
It really annoys me what some people do with LS engines

@XxTOxICiTYxX1227 an ls1 is better due to its already sizable amount of torque compared to a rotory

Would an LS1 or rotary engine be best for drifting?
