my new to me rx7

Mater of facts the RB26DETT is not an SR20DT counterpart, that would be the CA18DET, what he meant was that an SR20 with 2 more pistons would be an engine Nissan never produce, like the Mazda 4 Rotor.

There's no way to win an argument that started on opinions, I can't make him like what I like, so what's the point in continuing?



You clearly did research on the 787B, because the win at Le Mans was the only win they had that was controversial and luck. You never backed up any championships or series race wins. All this started with was rotaries are great road race engines with loads of success, I even said the Le Mans win wasn't really on my list of success as I'm the first to say that win was 100% luck.

You argue competition adjustments when the reality is EVERY car racing has adjustments to be competitive. V8, V12, V10, turbo 4 cylinder, doesn't matter, they all have adjustments. Typically rotaries face very tight restrictor plate restrictions and that was the death of rotaries in professional sports car racing aside from the GA RX-8s which will be done after this year.

In the end it doesn't matter, it's road racing, pick what you want to run with and race. If everyone ran V8s we would change the name...to NASCAR. I don't know what you were getting at with the SR20 thing, you're saying the R26B was an unfair engine because it wasn't a production engine? lol

yeah, every race car has adjustments to make it competitive. In my opinion...... the rotary showing up with the attitude of "look at poor us, we need to remove some weight to be competitive" makes my point for me. If we go to a bracket race and a civic has a 3 second head start over a mustang and then beats that mustang by .1 second, then we can make the case that the mustang is the better car even though the civic did win under the circumstances and rules. THAT is the argument i am making against rotaries....... the rotary engine's crowning achievement is one that required the rest of the field to be heavily handicapped to give them a chance.

Rotary faces very tight restrictions????? like what???? actually having to recognize their real displacement? is that being heavily restricted? "hey rotary guys.... we're not gonna let you tell us your engine has the displacement of a weedeater anymore"

Rotard - "ZOMGZZZZ these restrictions are too much?!?!?!?!??!"

Rotary engines are unique and interesting. They are not better than pistons engines. You know how i know that????


because Honda didnt do it.

Here they must use this one istead!

I'm done with this convo, it's going nowhere, you're arguing about Le Mans when I'm agreeing with you and ignoring everything else.

I still love you.
