I never thought about that, but it sure would be interesting. I wonder how much more the MZR Turbo weighs compared to the Renesis

"I had to recline the seat so far back that I must have looked as if I was expecting the attention of a gynaecologist"

This has been discussed many times on this forum. The rotary purists scream "heresy"!!, but the rest us ask, "Where can I buy my 'MX-8' at MSRP"?!?!?!

I don't think the weight of the engine is as big a deal as the size and the ability to mount the rotary so low and so far back. Compromise. Compromise.

Still ... if only ...
