    what is this smooth rev you're talking about? i apologize, but from years of driving cars with built and balanced engines........... everything revs smooth.
    No, they can't. There's a reason you don't see loads of SR20s in cars at race tracks.

    You're really going to tell me you never noticed a rotary revs smoother than a typical piston engine? You don't even have to like rotaries to admit that one.

    Classes...OK? lol What about sports racer classes and what not where they are more open, the N/A SR fits in many classes, even track days you don't see many SR20 engines.

    I don't get the S2000 statement, good 4 cylinder yes, SR20s aren't bad either, I have one, but as far as smooth goes you can't beat a rotary in my opinion.
