If one was to put a C6 vette engine in an RX-8, is it still an RX-8?

 

The R in RX-8 stands for rotary, so in my opinion, no.

 

Since the name implies it has a rotery engine (rotery experiment) it would not be an RX-8. Otherwise I would say yes.

 

No. Repost x 500.

NoTears,

I was hoping the thread would run for a little while before someone picked up on the Rotary in RX because that makes the question a little trickier.

So if you put a Renesis engine in a Hugo, is it still a Hugo?

Wow, I killed the thread in 2 minutes... sorry.

 

if a thread dies in 2 minutes, does it still make a sound?

 

if a thread dies in 2 minutes, was it really a thread at all?

 

Rotary is spelled "rotary".

 

Curious why would you put the Vette engine in anyway? Put a 3 rotor...much more power...still a Rotary engine...and far lighter than the vette engine and its heavy tranny

 

Yes... and it would kick ***
(and for the record, a 3 rotor in an FD destroys the balance while a LS1/2/6/7 does not change the balance... and will make more power more reliably and get better gas milage)

 

$? And 3 rotors aren't uber powerful without some good FI.

 

FI of course

but then again if you want NA 4 rotor is the way to go btw if you know anyone who has access to one I'd buy it

 

Dude, anyone can get their car done with Puerto Ricans. If they had 15 grand to spare.

 

Now all we need is If a bear craps in the woods and there is noone to smell it, does it still create and odor?
