Engineers kill for 80lbs over the nose of a car FYI plus the engine is smaller an sits lower in the bay. I made 400whp in mine on stock ports for 40k miles and was still running when I sold it. Comp was 100+ on each rotor. Cooling and everything had been improved. It's not a car for the machanically retarded.

the car itself is mechanically retarded. but i would agree to successfully over time keep a car like that you need to be exceptional with it and put up with a lot of bullshit.

I've never owned a rotary. Only driven customer's mazdas with rotarys. I think they're cool in theory. But have always been told that its only a matter of time before they blow up? Oh well. I think they sound cool. Anyways, I bought my mustang with the intention of paying it off and keeping it for years. So we'll see how it works out. It is my daily driver along my my motorcycle. I try to ride as much as I can to keep from putting miles on the car. I used to have a tacoma, but between the mustang and harley the truck was getting neglected. So I sold it. When the weather is nice, I sometimes have a problem deciding between car or bike! #firstworldproblems lololol
