Rotary Vs. LS1

Lots of torque in these same vehicles would simply blow the tires off.

Yeah, I HATE it when that happens ! Who needs torque???

Torque is great, but the chassis and tire combo has to be able to get it planted to the ground. Most swaps that I see don't address it. For straight line power, yes, you need as much torque as you can plant. For road racing, the right balance of torque and handling is necessary for each track. If hurt your handling for more power or torque, you won't necessarily do any better lap times.
