first read your sentences before you post them they hurt my brain. second rotarys are high maintenance and like to guzzle gas but are pretty cool. if you want something with torque and off the line acceleration look some where else. if you have enough bank to afford to mod/maintain one, the 8’s are overall cheaper and easier to find.7’s are usually over priced but much faster cars. ---

Hmm… so many thoughts. If you’ve never worked with/don’t understand the rotary, go for the RX8. It’s a great platform (N/A rotary), it makes reasonable power in stock trim and is (relatively) inexpensive. If you want a challenge/persistent headache/spend a lot of money, get an RX7, specifically an FD. Both platforms are very modable, it’s just a little harder to find RX7 parts. ---

Sorry I was extremly tired after lancaster last night. Im not thinking about getting one just I was wondering what the difference was. I know that the rx 7 was more epensive when it came out compared to the rx8 but the rx8 is alot more user friendly from what I have heard. Is the rotary engine any good. I heard that it is unefficiant and it takes alot of oil and stuff like that. I would appriciate any help. Thanks ---

It depends who you talk to about efficiency. The rotary engine is not very fuel efficient, it does however make a good deal of hp/liter. In turbo form things get a little sketchy as they are not very resistant to knock (pre-ignition). What are your power/drivability goals and budget? ---
