I was kidding! I know theres no replacement for displacement... theres a kid at my school who claims that his rotary RX7 that weighs 3400lbs has 250hp and like 210tq is faster than my camaro. I was just saying because its not like he wants to hit the strip hardcore with it his wife just wants a car with a bit more pep in its step, bolt ons like exhuast and intake, some internal work, gears, rear end and a programmer/dynotune and the car will be peppier than your average 3800 series V6.
Those rotary engines are fast, more than you think, if anything has been done. If he has a low rear gear, lower than stock, he might put you to shame. You don't mention the year, but a medium ported rotary can turn 10,000 rpm, coupled with a 4.11 or lower rear, and suddenly you have one very fast car from a light.

yeah well it doesnt matter anyway... he doesnt really have one he just told everyone he did.. imo they are big miatas and the rotary engine makes no tq... but all that is beside the point... He doesnt want a supercar he just wants a little pick up in power and a 3800 is a good V6 engine to mod on for that purpose.
