Well sort of a Mazada RX-7



I wonder why he didn't like the stock motor?

Alot of people think low end torque=power. That's a common mistake. Hell, if you drove both my stock 91 coupe and my convertible and only revved to 2000 RPM you'd probably think that my convertible was slower.

You mean diesels aren't fast?

Exactly. A big tractor trailer pulls pretty hard with no load, up to a redline of about 2500 RPM. :P

well....

it would of been better had it been a nicer V8... oh say one like this



Then it would of been pretty sweet!

High redline good power and it would be very unique!



Plus the motor is lighter than a 350 so more the weight would be RX7 like then more like a RV8 ?

Isn't the SHO V8 only slightly more powerful than the V6, while adding 200 pounds? That's just what I've heard.
