Since you ask.

About 15K and alot of sweat...There's a guy here on this board call rx8pr. This is his and his buddy's cars...both are running in the 6's at over 200mph and 1500 hp.

the top 3 vids are rx8pr's...He's now using a 3 rotor turbo 20b making 650hp as a daily driver.

I feel sorry for you if you think their RX-8 can run with that GN. In fact those guys are a bunch of BS, they talk about how fast their cars are but I have yet to see any proof of their RX-8 being anything special when compared to other fast cars out there.

I have a feeling it will cost a lot more than $15k to put in a Turbo 3 Rotor... and get it to run safely.

Exactly, unless you own a shop it's not happening.

Peel the body shell off and bolt it onto the GN chassis.

GN used to be one of my favorite cars. They are so awesome. I had the opportunity to buy one ready for the drag strip for about 12k, I wish I would have done it at the time. It was near mint.
