I also do not agree with that there is no room for a 7 and 8 at the same time noting that Inifiniti offers the g35 coupe/sedan and Nissan with the 350z. 3 very similar sports cars by "one" company. The next rx7 will be naturally aspirated with a rather high compression ratio because of direct injection. Gas mileage and emissions will be increased greatly. I also see it maybe possible for a n/a 20b to be the engine of choice, this is mostly depending on how much better the gas mileage could be with direct injection. Naturaly aspirated rotaries are amazingly reliable, and I dont want to hear people start rotary bashing because almost none of you know what you are talking about.
now who is going to get in on this with me? Who else is going to go on the rx7 forum from here and educate, then link to this thread after we get it going better?
"discuss" (thats for a chances are rotary hating Texan on here.)

i know what im talking about
i actually work on them, and y'all are right about how the n/a lasts a lot longer... but the main reason why the turbos do not last (and some rotaries for example) is the apex seals, they just can't hold out that long, they get too much wear and lose compression in turn making it run worse and worse... causing more and more wear... but i still wouldn't want an RX7 too bad, they are fucking gas hogs... they have 850cc secondaries STOCK... i don't have anything against them though. Most people who buy them are very loyal to them, they sell it, then buy another, or keep theirs forever... they stay in the community i guess you'd say...
