RX-Vette



I'm not saying I love it, so don't be hating on me. I just thought I would share it since I was bored in photoshop the other day.

In case you didn't know, in the early 70's, GM built a rotary powered Corvette for evaluation. Emissions laws were going to start and the rotary engine, at that time, was able to meet them. The piston engine couldn't, until the catalytic converter was developed.

Did something similar with my hand about six years ago, but basically it's the same idea

One of them is in england with a 13b in it

GM built two rotary engines; a 266ci 2rotor and a 390ci 4rotor
( i have read sources which state even bigger capacities however )

It's mid engined also



ps. IMO i dislike your picture
and its funny how the new members think this looks great, why did u even buy a rx8 in that case?

Why does everyone jump to twin turbo rotaries??? Just because it worked in the past doesn't mean it's a good choice now.
