The rotary is smooth and small, but it's not light nor very powerful, really, and due to their delicate nature there are tons of RX-7s sitting around with dead or dying engines.
So what's better, a dead rotary or a healthy V8?
An FC with a typical aluminum-head pushrod V8 will easily outaccelerate a stock or mildly modified FC, and easily outhandle the engine's donor car. It's a proven combination.
