I used to drive an 82 Rx7. It had a 13b twin turbo motor in it and I had it do a 13.4 second 1/4 mile while being street legal. All up I payed A$11k for it (US$6900) and was an awesome car and stupidly fast for the price. A good way for any teen to try and kill themselves (like I did almost daily in that car).

Problem with the rotary engine is it is put together sideways, rather than top down like a piston engine. This means anytime anything breaks inside it, you need to take the whole engine out to repair it.

Lost of fun, but they use tons of fuel!
