Re: Wankel
No, I didn't get any chance to drive rotary engine cars. I would feel lucky to drive rotary engine cars. Lets see I am looking forward to drive rotary engine cars. I also visit rotary engine cars events in India. Thanks for this thread and posting information about Felix Wankel.

Re: Wankel
I owned a small car Dealership and bought and sold 80+ Mazda RX-7's. 1979 - 1990 model years mostly, type I and type II. My favorite was a 1981 GSE 12A . I loved driving the RX7 Great handling and Fast! The thing to remember about the Mazda rotary was to never "lug" them! keep the rpms up. They said that the rotary didn't have a max RPM, the factory tach had a red line but many times I went beyond that! When you would over tach one a bell alarm would sound and the car would scream! Only problem I had, was having a passenger in the car really slowed the car down. Once racing a Mustang I told my Girlfriend to Jump out so I could catch the Mustang! She didn't and we finished dead even with the Stang. The Rotary Engine has 2/3rd less moving parts then a regular piston engine. I noticed a lot of People were afraid of the rotary! Some mechanics refused to work on them! Still the best pound for pound internal combustion engine ever made.....
