Good runs man, those Z06s are STRONG. But I have to ask... why is he running a T78 on a 13b?

No joke......wankels are soo friggen loud. I hate watching them run because sometimes I forget to cover my ears and can't hear the next cars that run for ****.

Only God knows how the guys that have those bastards can hear. I wouldn't say they are actually louder its just the pitch....

cause you can rev a 13b to the moon so turbo size is irrelevant

Yeah, but I would still go with something a bit smaller to get a bit less turbo lag...

Rotary owners dont care about torque.. if they did they wouldent own an Rx7

Thats why I ripped the 13b soul out of mine and fixed that little torque problem


BTW those rotaries are monsters on the highway... C6 Z06s are hard to keep up with on the highway as we all know

Not talking torque, just having power before you've been WOT for a few seconds...

thanks, thats the difference between and spinning and not spinning..it was like 60 degrees out that night and after having the car sit for 2 hours, i didn't warm up the tires...so it was spin city on the first run, but not the second. i actually never thought i had enough power to spin from 60 in 2nd all the way almost 100(into 3rd gear)
