Ehhh...I've accomplished the samething with my first RX-8 and a piece of **** K&N Typhoon intake. In fact one time when I went WOT underneath a highway (very very short tunnel), some Civic owner caught up with me at a stoplight and screamed at me...'Holy **** is that a V10 or something?'

The Carrera GT's engine was originally intended for racing application.

Also, I think you're going a bit overboard by saying they sound better than any F1 or Ferrari engine. Here's a few clips, find me any street driven rotary that sounds anywhere near as good.
