Impressive setup.....but, like the others, It would be more impressive to see a 2000HP rotary in there. Something like this would be nice to be seen in a muscle car or Corvette, not a RX-7.
I don't know about you guys, but when i see people stuffing other motors besides a rotary in a RX- anything, its kind of a let down......
With another motor in there, it no longer a RX , its a another car .... its like the magic is gone or something.

Frankly I'm not too sure rotaries have gotten there yet. I've heard of some 1,500hp three rotors and I know there is a four rotor with at least 1600 but that's as high as I've seen them get.

I strongly believe that it doesn't run at all. lol "IF" it actually has 2K hp, I don't think that home-made looking suspension could handle it at full speed....lol
