You may have missed the part of the discussion where another forumite tells you that the 302 is just a bit heavier than an SR20det. Imagine what a newer Cobra 4.6 weighs!
then YOU missed the part where I told you how much a rotory weights in at… in prepped trim it’s@ 55kg… sorry to say but I don’t think you can toss around a 4.6 or a SR… apparently you just ‘skimmed my posts’… NEXT!
If anyone here needs to wake up and realize that “it’s not 1978”, it’s you.
LOL your the one talking about 5.0L and block designs from the days of stove pipe 6’s not me man.
And before you tell me what I know and don’t know about suspension concepts and car balance let me say this:
If you can’t redistribute 50-100 lbs in a car, then you suck.
Ladies and gentelman I rest my case… since my explinations were obviosuly MISSED completely I’ll say ti again in really simple ways just for you …" weight BAD." Hows that for simpler… if YOu’d like a long and drawn out version then I don’t have a problem breaking it down into point by point form starting with suspension rates, roll rates, inertia vectors, harmonics and and ground traction.
Where did I say 3 liter rotary? Nowhere. This proves that you merely skimmed.
no it proves that your sentance structure sucked WTF is this" wankelers" is this the new redneck derogitory term for people who ’ get it '…
26b is a 4 rotor. Made for the 787 GTP. Not available.
So as far as me knowing “nothing” about rotaries, I at least know what *&&^^ engine comes in what.
lol I’m sorry but what car does a 'crate engine ’ come out of ??
as for a 4 rotor :

IF you ‘KNEW’ anything about the engine you were cutting on you’d have realized that 4 rotors are very common Companies in both Japan, England, New Zealand and Austrailia and even here oh wait ME! build 4 rotors.

Secondly. If you can’t redistribute weight in a project car then I pity you.
You have no idea what I have built and/or worked on Roto, so it would pay to be a little more circumspect in your tone.
Again if you don’t understand the concept of adding weight and the problems a heavier car incurrs on suspension comprimises then thats YOUR problam not mine, you can deny it all you wntbut weight IS weight and physics IS physics…
Thirdly, Are you faster than “Jefferlito” in the 1/4? (Magnus blue FD) read 10 flat and making 600ish at the tire.
If not, then most force-fed 302 will ‘eat your food’.
Magnus LOL you mean that 50,000 wonder car that couldn’t stay togeter more then 1 pass 90% of the time… LOL 1/4 miles to me stupid… tell you what YOU can have the 1/ 4 mile… it doesn’t test handling or driving characteristic of a car doesn’t tests the cars corner G or brake center or 3rd gear acceleration or even how it handles in turbulent air , doesn’t test a thing beyond who put’s the foot down first and whos car has the best hp/weight ratio… again… more maudlin events. Invented back when american cars didn’t have the ability to handle… and still don’t… I don’t consider $80K + new cars as a fair compairson to $ 5k 10-15 year old cars… however if you feel the need to do that comparison then go ahead. but it just the gap and the mentatlity of USDM cars to ‘others’
Oh and back to the question and I’m faster… on a track yes, on the street yeas in the 1/4 probably not. then again for frikin 50K I’d be alot faster… considering my measly 13B is only 550hp… from 60kg ( twins) … oh and ithe whole car , not just the engine cost me 1/5th of his.
PS. It would be nice if you’d realize that I’m not a V-8 guy. I’m an engine guy.
apparently not it would seem…
In an FC a N/A v-8 would be entertaining, a turbo v-8 would be a real demoralizer for arrogant “purists”.
I’m sure it would but first you have to beat them… but damn, it’s funny when you block heads get eatin by 1.3L ROTFLMAO
