Good luck and would love to see the progress of this project as it goes.
What is this shop you're referring to? I'm interested in locating a decent rotary mechanic in NYC area.

So what if they compare them? They compare the rx8 with the G35c and the 350z. Does that mean they're twins?

I didn't think so either. Sorry if im being a bit harsh but please post facts instead of opinions.

When I read this, a Mark Twain saying came to mind:

If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

if anything, that would definetely be interesting...quick car, at least!

what's the condition of the 13B? Cause it's well known that it'll likely need rebuilt around 100K-ish.

The exclusivity of that car would be pretty tight if it all pulled together. Just prep yourself for all the ups...as well as the downs that would come into hybriding 2 completely different companies.
