I don't get why people hate on the rotary engine. At the track, it is by far the best sounding engine. RX7's and 8's are some of the top times at most tracks I visit coming behind things that are either much higher hp or stupid light weight. At swap meets, they have the cleanest most appealing body work, meaning people take care of their shit. Around town, they stand out from any other car on the road. I think all RX vehicles are fucking amazing since they hold that same value down the generations. Fingers crossed for this new shitbryd coming out.

And before any of you retort with the typical retardation on /o/, I'm into American Muscle, Classic Cars, and other Japanese imports, too.

>>17186333

Really makes you think. Not everyone likes what you like dude.

>>17186333
>Being this autistic

The RX-8 in unarguable the most abused, least liked and most unreliable RX. Most were bought as "sporty" cars for the family by pussy whipped husbands who then neglected maintenance to the point all the engines are fucked

>>17186333
>I don't get why people hate on the rotary engine. At the track, it is by far the best sounding engine.

because the RX-8 is a street car, not a race car

So if I resume your argument rotaries are better for street cars because they are good on a race track, sound good and ricers at car meets keep them clean.

Did you mother lull you too close to a wall?

>>17185300
worse than rx7

>>17186353
Being stupid, hating, and bashing something you don't understand is not the same as me saying I hate the fact you hate what I like. Rereading my post, it is kind of absurd that is what you got out of my message.

>>17186364
>being this autistic
It is one of the most abused, I agree, because people don't know that they are buying an actual performance car. But least liked and unreliable is just that band wagon I was talking about. I had more mechanical issues with my girlfriend's dodge and her honda than I have had with the rotaries I've owned. Especially the Renesis. People who don't take care of it, thus, treat it like the performance engine it is, will find that it doesn't run well or they break it. Like those idiots who install turbos on 4-bangers and blow seals/turbines/blocks. They are just amateurs. It isn't the car's fault. It is the people driving them. And you basically proved my point with the pussy whipped husbands. Although, I'd point out more daddy's bought the daughter these cars then the wife saying buy a 4-seater so you can take the kids to soccer practice while I bang the UPS driver.

>>17186383
yes, it is a street car, but I feel your comment is contradictory. It excels at the track and was specifically designed to.

>>17186405
>name calling with an invalid point
Yes, you can like a rotary and think the rx8 is shit. In the same way you can like the 2004 Impreza but not the 2008 Impreza. That's an opinion on personal preference. Not what my point was, though, was it? Jackass.

I don't know what that means. I reread my comment and I didn't say anything about rotaries being better for street cars. No idea where you got that, and you missed the point completely.

I'm now questioning your sanity. Pic very related.

>>17186938
Production stock version, I'd agree. When you put some money into it to equal the original price tag of the RX7, I would very much disagree.

>>17186333

My 05 rx8 has 107k on the original engine, compression is still great.

Though I did remove the oil thermal pellet so it gets full oil flow no matter the temperature, just takes it bit longer to warm up.

Pretty much all engine failure can be traced to that stupid fucking thing, Restricting flow to the rear main bearing while cold was a dumb ass idea.

>>17187223
Both cars were made for different things. Mazda said, "Yea Race Car!" with the RX7. But then they said, "Meh, Race Car for family man." for RX8. If they went "Yea, NEW Race Car!" with the RX8, it would have done better.

See price points on both. You can spend less on an RX8 and drive faster than an RX7.

I've never owned a Mazda, but it seems like some people love the rotary while others say it's fucking awful. What's the deal with the rotary engines?

>>17190275
It's awful for normals. Cool for people that think it's interesting and novel (which it is).

>>17190275
finnicky and kinda requires vigilant maintenance to run without problems, but has some plus sides:
revs smoothly, and very quickly
extremely responsive pedal (without shitty oversized turbos)
very high redline
very smooth torque curve

downsides:
eats oil, thirsty for gas
low torque (sags in low revs, so if you try to short-shift it it feels slow af) arguably made up for by okay hp and smooth/even/flat torque curve which means tons of power at the top.
fucking shits the bed the second it overheats or misfires. (you can prevent this by getting better spark coils/ replacing plugs every few thousand miles)

>>17187190

>doesn't know what a transmission is
Torque is entirely irrelevant for a sports car
Horsepower is all that matters

100% true, however area under the curve matters as well. Having 1000RPM power band could be OK if it's a diesel with 1200RPM redline, but if it's 6000-7000 - it's useless.

Isn't finicky if you know how to take care of it.
Doesn't require vigilant maintenance. I don't work on mine anymore than i do my Honda Fit outside of a couple extra spark plug and oil changes.
Doesn't eat oil anymore than my friends' sti's. Gets the same exact MPG in every situation, too. Also gets similar times, giver or take a loss pending on how we both feel that day.
You don't drive an rx8 at 2k rpm.
Overheating isn't an issue if you maintain it like you would a performance car. It isn't a fucking honda.

It is people like you who feed the sheeple the lies and tomfoolery they like to regurgitate on this board on a daily basis.
