I was at ebay moters looking at vw's and there was one there with an rx-7 moter in it. The thought of that is insane. The dude is selling it for $510.00 the moter alone is worth more.

Must be a handfull to drive - must also catch a fair amount of people by surprise. It is sad however, that VW bought out NSU the pioneering company for wankel engines, and never applied the rotary technology to their own cars.
