13B kicking out almost 750 hp!

I'm not sure if this is a Repost:

I got this from another thread... Besides the video, it includes the interesting info:

"From the giant turbo bolted to a rotary engine and stuffed into a small rear-wheel drive car department comes this video of two heavily modified Toyota Starlets tossing it up out on the drag strip. The red Starlet in this video is also known as La Atrevida. Under its hood is a 1995 Mazda 13B rotary that packs just 1.3 liters of displacement, yet kicks out almost 750 horsepower thanks to near 40 pounds of boost. The proof? On the timeslip, and in this video. Behold the sight and sound of angry rotary Starlets and the people that love them."

Without reading the title, I was like "RX-3's?!...nah...couldn't be..." And I was rightish.

Either way, the Rotary's have a easy way to kick out HIGH horsepower. I mean, ESPECIALLY the 4 rotors. For those that haven't seen somehow, I'll post it
