Then why are rotary engines in only a handful of production cars compared to thousands of piston engines if they are so superior?

both these cars without any boost and stock internals and the rx7 would probably still win everyone knows that a rotory engine is superior to a piston engine in every way except mabe fuel economy lol i raced an old b12 2nd gen rx7 with a lancer (i know lancers arent fast but just comparing engines here) and it smoked me half the engine and more power

easy to talk crap when the rotary is pushing 100 more hp and way more boost .

Throw a bigger turbo on that SR20 or have the FD tone down his boost to see who's really got it going on.

I own an FD and an SR20 powered S13, and I know the race was completely uneven.

Yeah and the RX7 is moddified where the 180 is simply running more boost!

once again, 1.3 liter rotary kills a piston engine that is twice its size. Im happy to own a wankel.
