    IDC about no damn 7 bolts. BTW, bad mpg, high temps, and no reliability (except the few...) is not success.... in fact I think it's called inefficiency.

    Think of it like a two stroke, there are easier ways to do something, but you prove more when you take the challenge. And i probably bring this up to much but at Le Mans, no one has a better finishing record than Rotary Mazdas.

    The only races I've watched with rotaries and pistons motors, the rotary cars dropped back about 5 places when the track went uphill

    I'm not gonna respond cause you obviously haven't a clue, do you really not know anything about racing or are you just being ignorant?

    Like I said, the races I've seen with both rotary cars and piston cars, the rotaries always dropped back when they had to go uphill. The commentator (sp?) said something to the effect of, "if you pay attention when the track goes uphill, you will notice the rotary powered cars always lose a couple places."

    I don't know what is ignorant about anything I said, except the plane crashing comment... but I was joking with that.

    I would, but a rotary motor with 100k+ miles would be faster than my internet.

    there are also hundreds of capable rotary builders, even in the state of GA (we are home to Downing after all)....though most will be found in the aviation field. Rotaries are very popular in small prop type personal aircrafts.

    Don't run your mouth.

    I get 32 mpg hwy, make 330whp with the stock turbo on a streetport, and haven't had any issues no matter how hard I beat on it.

    That plus colonwrecking new DSM people that don't know who I am am is ****ing funny.
