Yeah the 12a just isn't used as much. There is a bit of a following here in Australia with running 12a powered cars(9sec quickest iirc).

I once drove a bridge ported n/a 1st gen 7 that was gutted and had something like 4.88 gears (i think) and that little thing was an absolute blast to drive.. 10k rpms like nothing. I can imagine a turbo one with 482 to the wheels. People can bash rotarys as much as they want but what other engine that small can make that kind of power. And I guess those that arent rotary enthusiasts or never owned one doesnt agree but I think they sound cool as hell especially at high RPM, especially just because nothing and I mean NOTHING sounds anything like a rotary. Call me crazy but I dont much like the sound of the 20b, but the 4 rotor motor... its unexplicable. Almost brings tears of joy to your eyes to hear that thing scream. Mix of a rotary, a sport bike, and formula all rolled into one. I wish I could make my alarm clock sound like that cuz then I wouldnt keep tryin to turn it off and go back to sleep! lol

A 12at RX3 here in Australia just ran a 9.2. It ran 122mph to half track!
Still full interior, glass, steel panels etc. Very nice car. Waiting for the vid!
