Dude, he has a small team of car mechanics caring for his fleet of exotica. I am not surprised a rotorhead is probably working for him too.

No rotorheads at Big Dog Garage. Jay called Dave Lemon at Mazdatrix to put the 12A in the Cosmo. Doubling the horsepower and giving the 9500 rpm redline.

"The reliability seems to be there"? Guess he hasn't heard about all those ENGINE FAILURES!!! Stupid, uninformed Jay. But then, what does he know about cars. He's just like those stupid writers at Road & Track, Car and Driver, edmunds.com and Consumer Reports who report reliability is fine. Stupid, ignorant journalists!

And funny, but while he said "the reliability seems to be there," for some reason he didn't mention having to add premix. You'd think someone like Jay would at least mention that when he's talking about the rotary engine's reliability, but for some reason... he didn't. Weird.
lmao
