can always rely on you to set our asses straight

I've never been present at a dyno pull, so I had no idea (obviously). Do you know how reliable the rotary is versus, say a supra motor with the TT?
I've got several months of planning ahead before I can get a new car. So I'm taking my time, and finding out about all my possible choices.
