It’s pretty cool but an aweful lot of work for 440whp. That 13b would make that much with proper fueling and a GT35 without breaking a sweat (and proper tuning). ---

the rotary was never made for torque anyways, it was made to rev 😛 i will say i like this one more than the ls1 swaps tho ---

umm… the Auto in these cars is super sweet, and you’d be a fool to use a 5spd to go fast, if you want to shift stick to the rotary ---

The engine alone in good shape is worth what that sold for, people are probably scared of the workmanship, like the soda straw exhaust.
