Im not trashing on rotary engines but just comenting on the LS1s power stock. The LS1 is not even being pushed hard at all and making 300hp and getting good gas mileage with a all motor combo. Rotary sure can be built up to 300 hp and they rightfully came in the RX-7, this is true but again I would much rather take a stock LS1 then a built to the edge of exploding rotary.
Everyone likes what ever makes them happy but when someone calls the car a "shit-7" that kinda erks me cause the motor and trans is worth like 5 times as much as the body. I have gotta rides in stock Rx-7s and let me tell you its nothing to write home about, but something tells me a rx-7 with a totally stock ls1 in it would be something to talk about. JMO
