I've probably owned more rotarys than anyone else on this board. I've had several that made over 200K without any engine problems. Out of all of them, one one motor has blown, and that was at the track, and due to my fault. It still drive home from Moroso - and was driving around a month later without a rebuild. Rotarys are reliable if you know how to maintain them.

2JZs are also good reliable motors, but I prefer to keep them in Supras. There is nothing wrong with the Supra either, it's just a different shell.
