Cute. But everyone knows that the only real racing involves turns ...

You'd have to feather the clutch from around 7000 rpm to even get the car moving! Fun idea, though.

For the same amount of money and longevity you can get more horsepower out of a renesis.

I think that if you want hi revs and fun you just have to do a Pport renesis 300hp 10,500 rpms, or go wild and do a 3 rotor Pport

if I where to put a busa engine on a car it would be a miata

I will let you know...

I am currently swapping in a zx12 engine in an rx8, not for the hp, but for the sequential 6speed. 12.5 redline... I like rev's... What can I say. So to everyone concerned with HP figures... Stay in ya magazines.

P.S. I'm also installing the same setup in a gutted 95 eagle talon, (mid engine) not sure what the end weight will be, but I believe as it sits, 1800-2100 lbs. And yes, the talon will be my daily driver, and the rx8 is going to be a give-away for a child abuse organization. Be on the lookout for that raffle...

you can just put a BMW DCT 7-spd sequential behind a Mazda rotary engine now

I already have the basic components for a future RX8 install
