First off, Nissan owns.

Second..toyotas are good for speed, the supra is unbeatable, but leaves people wanting more on those country drives...

yeah rotaries dont put out a lotta hp, but they use it REALLY efficiently. the only problem with them is the older FD series overheated like a mother.

It's a cool design, (albeit almost as old as the piston engine) - but it's certainly not something I'd call innovative or worth the hassle.... Don't mention apex seals...

Since the supra was mentioned -

Supra's are for kids with penile issues... Because they want to race off the track.

It doesn't excel at either style of proper racing here stateside whether or not you like to admit that is simply based on your own juvenile thought process. Not saying it's a bad vehicle, but you are better off with other choices. Just like some of the choices we make in car audio. It'll go fast, but it'll get beat by cars better suited for the job at hand.

That and the RX-7 uses two 654 cc rotary engines //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
There was also a triple rotar system, if I'm not mistaken, but it wasn't used in an RX-7 ...

Correct! You can order it from Mazda, and there is a 4 rotor... 2.6L making over 800hp stock..

I don't know exactly why Mazda Rx-7's are so disliked. The weight to horsepower ratio is high, and you can get better mpg in one than you can with most of the more extreme penny pincher cars like Ford Aspires etc. I'm not saying this is some fantastic thing worth international praise or not, but driving an RX-7 is probably going to be more fun than tooling around in a 3-cyl Geo Metro, and a friend of mine beats the piss out of his and gets close to 37mpg.

This is the light I've seen them in anyway. If it weren't for the Fast and The Furious, Rx-7's would probably be an attainable, affordable alternitive to less efficient sports cars. Now they have all gone to the ricers and whatnot.

i like mazda a lot. Their FB, FC and FD all rocked. I've not heard of 4 rotors, only triple. It was initally available on the mazda cosmo, a luxury coupe that flopped. The engines were a gem though. Still made 280hp in standard tune, just more "tunable".

Don't think RX7's would be the ideal choice for novice drivers though. You need a lot to pull max out of them cars.

will do

lol my family 4dr car has more horsepower than his "1.3l rotary turbo"

What family 4door are you driving with 251 Naturally aspirated horsepower? much less a turbo version of that engine would easily push over 300.
