8.5 you say?? I do that in a honda.....Originally Posted by chava_rx7
An they say rotaries are tourque less! my rx7 1st gen with a 13b i would shift at 3k normal driving it felt fine to me, and sometimes i would shift befor 3k on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, wen realy pushing it i would shift at 8.5k i luv my car!:idb:
regular driving, i shift at around 3K, its gutless when i do it though..saves mad gas
90% of teens say "oh shit" before a wreck. The other 10% are from Pennsylvania, they say " hold my beer and watch this shit."
EvasiveEF9: Just fill me in...if it's black, I'm all over it...
Yea you can do that but can you hold it there for more than five minutes? I dont think so, or you will have a piston or rod up your ass, i can keep it up there for as long as i need to, and just cus i shift at 8.5 dont mean thats all it has my car reves to 10k is just that at those rpms my engine is not modefied to make any power, my power band starts to drop over 8k..8.5 you say?? I do that in a honda.....

Boy, your better off doing drugs because there isn't any rehab or therapy for rotaries or boost.
lolol, we've run Honda's WOT at 8,500+ for 13 hours straight...mulitple times. I guarantee you more wankels don't finish an endurance race compared to Honda's.
Yea dey do, they were banned from the lemans 24 hour endurance racing because of just that, they can take a beating better than the competition..
thats why rotaries dont do endurance racing.

Are you going by what you've heard or how many endrance races you've driven or crewed for? Whether it's a 10/13hr Endurance or 24 hr Le Mans, Honda has ALWAYS been more reliable. Find me a source that says otherwise.Yea dey do, they were banned from the lemans 24 hour endurance racing because of just that, they can take a beating better than the competition..

The rotary was banned because of its "unfair" weight advantages following its victory at the '91 Le Mans. You can't say they don't do endurance races because they run them ALL the time, just because they were banned by the FIA doesn't mean they don't compete under other associations and organizations.
The last time I checked, a few RX-8 was in the rolex 24 hours race and in Grand-Am.
