I believe that statement and the one under your avatar have summed it up, indefinitely.

it also helps if say there are 1000 civics one the road and 10 blow their engines, as supposed to 100 rotaries and 10 blow their engines. their reliability lies in the percentage of cars on the road...i think.

maybe a better average would be "retards who drive honda's" vs "retards that drive rotaries" because most hondas are econo cars and people drive them as such. Rotaries however are made to be revved.

I think we will see better stuff on the rotary.

Speaking of banging motors....we put a crate motor (Miata)in before the the 24 hours race and all the drivers (except me cause I didnt know better) banged the limiter on all shifts!This motor raced a full season and a half. What we forget is the Honda, Miata can run to the redline.The motors are built for that.The factory stops you from going thier with thier rev limiter.Thats why you hear the stutter or brake up.(I dont recall tha on my FD though

)Oh yea...there was NO BREAK IN on the 24 hour motor just REDLINE RACING OIL.
