Wankle engines are the shit.. hard to find mechanics to work on them though. The RX-8 is a fucking rocket. Mmmmmmmmm

i'm a real big rotary fan myself, and have two of the beautiful FD3S's (third-gen RX-7's)... but, the RX-8 seems a step backwards to me, kinda stripped down and crippled in some ways. the new version of the engine (Renesys) isn't going to be possible to add turbochargers or any form of forced-induction like the earlier examples so readily accepted... the intake manifold is solid cast and incorporates very narrow ports, hapmering any aggressive force-feeding.
also, the saturn-style third door is just plain ugly..
