Probably the most underpowered car in existence!
Eeeuuuwwww!
Eeeuuuwwww!
The Mazda Roadpacer was introduced in 1975 to Japan

i love people who bash pistom motors...its too ****** funny. If the Rotary was SOOOO ******* superior, they why doesnt every car on the road have it?
I could build a twin T3/T4 turbo chevy small block (Alloy) and shoehorn it into my vert and have 1000ft/lbs. For a fraction of the cost of a 400ft/lb rotary (20B)
****...that chevy would have a rodeck block and a flat crank too
