@sniper1334 did you even read the comment from before? because it pretty much explains it all but I guess you just do not get it... later dude...

[Tj1056]

@sniper1334 yup I did but you had to go into modding the mustang which is already faster from the factory... get the point bud?

[sniper1334]

@Tj1056 LOL butthurt? If I remember correctly, you said that PORTING (not turbocharging) the rx8 would make that Mustang it's bitch. I pointed out the fallacy in that and so NOW your pulling out the small displacement card? Your right, because of lower weight it doesn't always need more HP to be faster. But compared to a first gen RX7, an RX8 is a heavy pig. And you said it yourself, V8's are also put into light cars, like notchback Mustangs. So I'm still right, Mod for Mod Mustang > RX8

@sniper1334 duh... you fucking moron... its a small CC engine... any small CC engine is going to need forced induction to make power like a big CC engine, everyone knows that you flaming idiot... after all the bolt ons and porting it does not have to have more horsepower to be faster. fastest 13b runs 6.7 with 1400whp, any other v8 will be running over 2000hp to run a time like that... btw the v8 engines are also put into just as light of cars...

[sniper1334]

@Tj1056 I know what a rotary is, half the moving parts and also after "porting" and every bolt on imaginable will make half the horsepower of a decent v8 with bolt ons. Face it, a rotary is not going to make anything accelerate fast unless A.) It's turbocharged or spraying B.) it's put into an extremely light chassis. End of discussion.

@sniper1334 great opinion... goes to show how much you know about a rotary... for one it has less then half the parts that v8 has and needs less mods... (it has no cams or pistons and what not) ... just because mechanics charge a lot to work on a rotary does not make them a expensive engine... if you know not know how to work on them then yes its going to cost you a lot...

[sniper1334]

@Tj1056 Mod for mod, most Mustangs are going to accelerate quicker than an RX8. That's just how it is.

[sniper1334]

@Tj1056 Well of course! Just like it would cost someone a lot to have a shop gasket and port match, there Mustangs upper and lower intake manifold. Same goes for porting your heads.

[Tj1056]

@sniper1334 it cost under $100 for porting templets and its not hard to grind... it only cost a lot when you have someone do it for you...

[sniper1334]

@Tj1056 Not if you spend on the Mustang whatever it cost to port the rotary.
