I don't have an exact count for them, but the percentage would be frigggggin huge.
And also how hard it is to get a new rotary engine compared to a 350 block. Call your local Mazda dealer and see how long it would take for a block to come in, then call your local Chevy dealer and see how long for a block to come in.
Also, for drag wise and such, all the "rednecks" who do this type of thing on the side, don't know the rotary engine as much as they do a piston engine. They grew up on the piston engine, and never really experienced how much potential and horsepower can go into a rotary. It is a give and take on this subject.
But still, you should never gut a an RX-7 or anything previous of the 7 with a V8 when you can keep it rotary and put in a 20b.
And I did not really think this thread would go up to this matter, just discuss that it is an AUTOMATIC drag car, which is something I myself have never even seen. All the drag cars at Buds Creek(or MIR) most of them are stick, fully tubbed racers. There are some 5.0 80's Mustangs that run 11's and they are driving these monsters on the street.
I respect the **** out of the piston engine, but I like the rotary any day of the week.

There's rotaries making over 1000 hp. 3 rotor's making 1500 hp. you can keep going from there. You want to compare displacement vs displacement just keep adding rotors.
I'm not trying to change your opinion, obviously your not going to change your mind. All I'm saying is, what you think, is your opinion. Other people have a right to have their own, whether you think it's right or not.
I know I'm right so you can stop argueing.
ps oh yeah there is an industral rotary making 6000 hp I have the link somewhere.

ok. im not arguing an opinion, i do like the rotary better. but... IN A CAR there are no rotaries making anywhere near the power that many v8s put out. there just arent.
I know when it comes to going fast power isn't everything, and I never said it was, you are changing the subject. I sed a 350 is better for making power, not going fast.
and still, if you wanna get up in piston engines, how many rotaries do you see running with funny cars? none. what about top fuel? none
there arent any rotaries making that kind of power where v8s are.
and in this, I know that I am right, so quit changing the ******* subject and admit it.
