RX for a reason

is the rx still 50/50 f/r? for some reason it just doesnt look like it.

i still dont see much potential for it. good handling, but i'm not feeling the renesis for a car as heavy as the 8

Renesis burns more thoroughly i think than older rotaries. better mileage.

you know what, sometimes looks are everything...i mean a caprice and a vette can have the same engine...which would YOU prefer?

yes, better milage and cleaner emissions because of the zero overlap intake/exhaust cycle

yea, i guess youre right on the looks. but they really could lower the price.

not just the overlap, there are a lot of harvesting valves that take unburned fuel, (of which there is a lot in the rotary) and reburn it.

i believe thats what i read.

you know that a miata at 27k with a 4 cylinder is proly going to be 32k with a renesis. to me the jump to an rx8 isnt that much at that point. for that price i would prefer a more substantial vehicle.
