Re: Rotary vs. Piston engine
Cool. great info guys. i read the 0-60 is about 7.7 seconds. it could be worse, but if the handling is what the rx-7 is made for, im sure it makes up for the lost torque in the handling department.

They do handle exceptionally well. But that's the chassis, not the engine. And the chassis can handle a lot of torque and power without upsetting the handling, it's that good.
Since you've been to howstuffworks, a more detailed site I like is this: http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/index.php Lots of detail, not just on how it works, stock, but also how modifications affect it.

Re: Rotary vs. Piston engine
I agree with them, gettin an N/A is probably good, I know from experience. I am 16 and I have had my 91 N/A for almost a year and I love it!!! This is my first car, and I don't think I'll ever sell it until I have too. It does handle really well, and personally I like the acceleration, but that's probably because I've never really driven anything faster, haha! good luck and I hope you enjoy your RX-7 when you get it!

Re: Rotary vs. Piston engine
Very unique sport car. People will be looking at your pretty RX-7 and hear that sexy hum and whine of the rotary. =)
