Hi fellas,



My names Greg and Im living up here in MA.

Where the snow is cold and the road salts rust everything.



I recently just got out of the DSM community (sold car), and I've always loved the sound of rotary power.



So as of now my search is on.

I've always been a budget racer and this time is no exception.



I'm looking for something to have around 250 hp and be some what streetable.

Im not sure what might be cheaper N/A or turbo.

Im not sure what gen to look for.



I would imagine a FB or FC would be a cheaper route.



Any ideas of where to start?



Thanks



Greg W

(sold) 90 Eagle Talon, Forced Performance Green, 11.353 @ 128.9

Welcome to nopistons!



Yeah, stay away from the n/a if you want 250 hp.

I just figured I'd get away from some of the headaches associated with turbo cars. I loved the simplicity of my 79 chevy running a carb. Oh well.



Now I suppose my only problem is to find a decent beginner chassis thats reasonably priced.



Or I'll just start banging on doors of a few 7 owners in the hood

FC (2nd gen) would be your best, TII.



You could get 250 out of an n/a (from what I've read), but it would take more money than you would spend getting a TII way past that point.
