    No thanks. An NA 3 rotor is boring. RE amemiya JGTC car was a NA 3 rotot and it was fast because it didnt weigh anything and the other cars had restrictors. A big single 2 rotor or 3 rotor, sure but na its not fun. I have ridden in NA pp 12a's in FBs and they are quick but they are not FAST.

    V8's are going to be better than any NA rotary in cost of money and reliability at the same power levels. I'm staying 13b-rew as long as possible while its running good but if it pops, I'll have to think long and hard about what I want to put in there.

    I guess it depends what you want to do. But I have seen tons of NA rotaries kill V8 cars and turbo rotaries, and I personally road race, and would much rather have NA.

    Ok but you dont have an FD. I have ridden in just about every configuration of them before I bought mine and a big single 2 rotor and ls1 cars were the most fun. I rode in a turbo cosmo swap which is 3 rotor and while its responsive, it doesnt hit like the hi revving 2 rotors.

    NA 3 rotors are responsive but they dont have a big turbo kick you get at 4500 rpm or 500 ft lbs of torque out of an LS1 throw you in your seat in a 2700 lb car.
