You defeat the purpose of the RX-7/8 by putting a piston engine in there.... don't tell me you would rather have an LS1 vs. a Rotary....it's a natural race build.
If it's good, how come they haven't done it in the Formula D RX7's?
Or maybe I'm too ignorant to realize that people love the LS1 more than life. It's a good engine, but I wouldn't put it in the RX-7...

he's not one of the seated drivers, but he is part of the falken team.
as stated before, there was the orange FC at formula D 06 that was also an LS1 car.
and please tell me what the "purpose" is of an RX7 that sets is apart from every other cheap japanese sports car out there. it's purpose is to be a mildly sporty yet relatively inexpensive car.
you can like whatever you want, but the fact remains that it's a good swap for the car. lots of power in stock trim, very little extra weight (most of it is in the T56 transmission which places the extra weight low and to the rear in the car), and a very dependable and easily repairable/upgradeable powerplant in a nimble chassis. the LS1 swapped FC/FD chassis is an excellent platform for doing pretty much every kind of racing imagineable.
