Hey altspace, do you have any information regarding the Speedsource cars? They are supposed to make an announcement at the autoshow. The race car could possibly be there.

Did anyone else see in the press release shown at rotarynews.com, Mazda says the Furai is powered by a "RENESIS-based R20B three-rotor rotary engine." Maybe Im an idiot (dont answer that) but I didn't know Mazda had a Renesis based 20B engine. I thought all the 20B's were based on the older engine designs.

sweet vid....love the sound..
the appearance isnt bad IMO but i think they need to do something with the nose...ie a different emblem...the flying M doesnt sit well on that pointed nose..
