@sidodorifto firstly a small tight track with not much straight with a big heavy na sedan and a light weight turbo charged mazda that revs to 9000 rpm plus, regardless of the hp difference its mazda advantage.

sounds like a formula1..

[geraldo787b]

v8 had no chance. even on the straights.

Keep in mind that these are nothing like the factory street unibody cars you buy at the dealer. These are totally custom tube frame with fiberglass panel race cars. The motor on the Rx7 isn't even in the stock location, they moved it all the way up under the dash into the cockpit. I love Rx7's and rotary engines but you can't compare that yellow race car to a production unibody FC3S.

just quietly, rotary turbo, vs aspirated v8 far more intersting than 2 aspirated v8's having a go..

Most people are gonna prefer the traditional V8 aren't they, they are in nearly all high end sports cars and have proved over decades that they are reliable, powerful and tuneable.. its a favorite, but these are new times and there is no denying that those Rotary engines are an engineering marvel, such small displacement yet such huge power, i mean fair enough, the V8 has its many advantages, but give respect where its due, the rotary is nothing short of fantastic, its got my vote.

I don't even know what an alternator is but they should build it a little less fragile...one time offtrack can happen always, not good if ur out of the race after a small sidestep.

weighs less blah blah more fuel efficient blah blah smaller blah blah cuter blah blah. go drag race the two fuckers.

Would have been different at bathurst!

I had a 2nd Generation RX7....It was stolen and found stripped in a field....If I could have ever found out who did it, they would never have use of their hands again...

Sure miss that car...It was quick...It had a few bolt ons and :)

Actualy lemans had other issues with the rotary, all mazda had to do was add another rotor to exponentially increase hp... Though one must also consider that the rotory will use more fuel than other engines, so some of the weight saved by the engine you will have to carry a larger payload of fuel to sustain your output than a v12 twin turbo counterpart... Yes thats right ladies and gentleman a 4 rotor is similar to a twin turbo v12...
