But the fastest rotary car that was in production from Mazda, was the 3rd gen RX-7.The fastest rotary car from Mazda would be the 787B, average speed was 203.?? mph at Le mans!

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. The average speed for the 787B in the only year it won Le Mans (1991) was 127.45.

I whooped on a Mustang GT in my RX8 and the poor boy could not catch me.
rolling at about 45 mph in second gear left him behind.
By the way did I tell you I have an AT.
