Yeah they are, the power band is incredible as is the sound.
Want to buy my RX-8? I'll cut you a deal...
ive driven a couple,there fun but i drove stock N/A ones.........so deff nothing special on power.
Yea rotaries are aweomse i loved my FC.
I just sold mine, I miss it but I will post some pics of my new toy soon.
Try not. Do or Do not.
Only Rotary I will own will be pulled out of the car lol.
Ha I can't either!
Rotaries are amazing especially in a 1300 lb racecar.![]()
whats all the fuss/
Torque is too important to me to own a rotary
Everything is amazing in a 1300lb racecar, thats nothing that makes me want a Rotary
AMEN TO THAT
OH FUCKING SWEET 255HP AND 247TQ....you have to be kidding me....I made more torque than that last time I farted
You know whats amazing to drive....even better than a rotary I mean....a twin turbo LS1...thats amazing

They also make pretty good dragcars...

I made a "To Do" list for you. I am rotary guy, but I am not the kind that bashes other, or is close minded. I am wiling to bet you haven't driven a rotary powered car, they put power down differently, and are quite nice IN THEIR OWN WAY. Why in fanboy-esque debates to people feel the need to hate the side their not on?
-Owning a Playstation does not mean you have to hate X-boxes
-Owning a Mac doesn't mean you have to hate windows
-Owning a Piston powered car doesn't mean you have to hate rotaries
-etc. & vice versa for all of the above
Why is there always a group of retards in any category that thinks you can't like both, or if you dislike one, why you would have to hate it? It's so stupid.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
You might want to get ready to put your foot in your fucking mouth.
1. Most of the reason I hate rotarys is there fanboy club and how fanatical all you people are about them. They aren't the greatest thing since sliced bread, at best they are a cool car culture novelty.
2. I've driven a lot and I do mean a lot of Rotary powered cars on track, everything from Caterhamesque replicas to 3rd Gen RX7s, all nice cars and well balanced but Ill take an RX7 with an LS1 anyday of the week, and don't waste my time with the "it thows off the balance" remark....because it doesn't.
3. It was a simple statement if you don't like it...I don't care
4. I don't hate rotaries....I mostly just hate the owners
5. If you are looking to go toe to toe with someone and challenge them with your vastly superior car knowledge you better pick someone else.

I really expected this much earlier from you haha. Yeah I have a 13B first gen, and now you see why I love it. rotaries do drive different than anything else, but they're not for everyone. I am a huge rotor lover though. You can drive mine sometime if you ever see me at a meet or something, just give me a shout.

They are a novelty item, not a practicality. Theres a reason essentially only one auto maker uses them and nobody else will touch them.
Im not here to debate...but i am here to say i have a new appreciation for rotaries..and cant wait till i am able to get one.
is it true that rotaries are capable of running no rev limiter and it not hurt the motor? i've heard it before but never really thought about it.
example, could you use a rotary and rev to like 16k or something and it not blow up?
If you had the rotating assembly balanced out better than the factory does(factory balances the rotors with the counterweights in the flywheel like a wheel on a car, but the front and rear rotors and their respected counterweights aren't balanced for each other across the length of the eccentric shaft, and little things like the mass of the seals and such aren't taken into consideration, it's still good enough for the Rx-8 to hit 9k, but not 11k and up), and ran hardened stationary gears, as long as you could feed it oil and gasoline and cool it down it would keep revving yes. Ceramic seals that wear/weigh less and produce less friction would help too.

I drove a Turbo2 FC once. Eh, the thing I liked the most of it was popping flames. That was about it.
