... I just can’t hear the hatred right now. I’m just experiencing too many rotaries!

The enthusiast in me wants a rotary-powered car.
However, the realist in me bitch-slaps him and wins every time. Rotaries are just too flawed for me to even consider one in a car I’d own. Just swap in an LS or something and toss that wankel junk out back.

Here is the thing: why not experiment and own one for yourself? Not that I’m telling you what to do, but I think it would be best to get a personal understanding of one. That is why I am actually considering selling my motorcycle in order to own an RX-7.

A properly cared for and tuned rotary is something every car enthusiast needs to experience at least once. Preferably in an FB RX7.

2nd video 6min40... This is Mr Sugiyama and his son. They are the ones I go see when my car needs tuning. That video was taken at Spa last year.

Well, almost 1 year with mine, daily driven... If we except the ridiculous gas bill (went down to 7mpg once and that wasn’t on a track,where it gets lower), it’s been a very reliable car. Sure I’m paranoid with oil levels and change oil every 2000km or less, I meticulously stay under 2500rpm until the car gets up to temperature...etc etc, but still... Very reliable.
Oh yeah, my AC died the day after I refilled it. It worked a grand total of... 1 day!!

Because we all have a limited amount of money and time, and “wasting thousands on a flawed little curiosity just to please Internet snobs” is not high on the list of things to do with them.

You think people are into rotarys to please the Internet?
The Internet hates rotarys!

People trying to rationalize rotarys is getting out of control.
Nothing is rational about them. They are a pure enthusiasts niche engine.

no, I’m saying that I don’t have limitless time and money, and high-revving rotaries are low on my list of “wants” (I grew up in the malaise era, and we were pretty much still into ‘60s and ‘70s muscle cars) and I’m not going to spend money on one just because some guy on the internet says I should.
Like I’ve said elsewhere, being an enthusiast doesn’t mean you have to like everything equally. All it means to me is that I can understand why you might like something I don’t. I’m not interested in Miatas, but I can easily understand why other people do. I’m an engineer, so I tend to view the Wankel/rotary more for its inherent shortcomings (which IMO outweigh the advantages) but I can understand why someone would love to drive one in a lightweight car.
I guess I’m just bitching about the attitude of “if you don’t like what I like you’re not an enthusiast” which infests this place.

The really crazy thing is he was paid to write that.
Meanwhile Sean is writing for free.

I agree 100%
Doesn’t matter what you or I like. As long as we as car guys can understand why people like what they do.

I’m going to be in a lot of shit for this, but Tavarish is an idiot if he thinks owning an RX-7 that he just freshened up with only 2 weeks worth of ownership experience makes him a rotary professional.

I’m not saying you should, but I am saying experiencing one will verify any and all opinions. If you don’t want to, you just simply don’t want to. Nothing wrong with that. Taking a crazy risk like that is not on your agenda and it might not be.
