You know, considering only 2 valves per cylinder, and no magic like VTEC, or dashpots and tappets, even a 2-bbl V8 makes a LOT of power comparatively to other high-tech engines that have these things. And they don't blow Apex seals every 5 minutes.

Well wait, there is no need for namecalling and banning. I wasn't being mean or rude, I'm just pointing out something. Touchy touchy.

No, actually he was a dumbass. It was just ironic beause he has a 71 SS and is interested in rotarys.
He doesent act like a boner though.

theres nothing terribly impressive about big displacement making big power. do more with less, we do it without a valvetrain, pushrods, connecting rods, cams, or timing chains. Did I mention less weight too? Oh, and rotary engines havent even recieved a fraction of the development v8's have, we get superb performance from a design from mazda (hah!) consisting of iron rotating components and iron engine housings. Imagine if a real performance company made an attempt.
