now the normal rotarys only have 2 thingys? @ 3 power strokes per rpm that makes it about a V or I 6.

what i want to know is does anybody make a rotarty thats the size of a Chevy SB that has say 4-6 of the thingys in it? cause that would be like having a 18 cylender if it were a potato masher.

the only thing about rotary's is that they are a high rpm motor. low end power and torque just isn't there. airplanes use to use rotary's and i'm sure there are some big ones out there but the one mazda uses is very small. It would shock u looking at the thing it did me... i was like WTF is that LOL

Its a shame they don't bring the JDM Rotary to US. Its got 3 Rotars instead of the US 2. Which makes it the equivelent of 9 cylinders. Very fast in Japan! And since the Car is so perfectly balanced with the Rotary it makes for a perfect drift car, with of course, certain settings which cost a lot of money to put on :D Predator, you like Rally? Why don't you go to some SCCA rally events (well that is if your haven't gone before), they have pro, cross, and club circuits. Well if you are interested i have posted a calender on http://www.redline-chicago.com
