A rotary blasting past a turbo charged boxer? I'd love to see that....
Not sure what planet you're from, but the torqueless wankle is a POS IMO.. Might be time for Mr TG to have a test drive in an RX-8 and realise the error
Price wise, I'd also guess the new RX-7 would be more expensive than the RX-8 (given the RX-7 enthuiast factor - and much like a Holden Monaro), and a price tag of around $60k (before onroads) - eg. ref: RX-8 GT goes for $58k fully optioned - would be fairly reasonable. That would make those "expensive" Evos and Subies only >4-5k, and far better value (AWD and all the electronics!).
