Confusing Engine Swaps thread....

When did I do that?
I bought a V8 RX-7, that a friend bought and built for himself. He bought it with a blown rotary specifically to drop a V8 in.

Anyway, point proven: Swapping piston engines into formerly rotary-engined cars makes a lot of sense, for obvious reasons. Who are you to insist that people "leave rotary cars...alone!"?!

if you want a camaro or a corvette go buy one.

I would have done that *if* that's what I wanted!
People who think that taking an RX-7 and dropping in a V8 makes it the same as a Camaro OBVIOUSLY know NOTHING about RX-7s, or Camaros!

Corvette is less of a stretch, but still 400-500 lb. heavier and a much bigger footprint, and less engaging (to me anyway) to drive.
A V8 FD RX-7 is just that: a V8-powered FD RX-7. I looked at an LS2 C6 before getting the FD. But for the same money I have a car that I like a LOT better than an LS2 C6, with ZR1 performance.

if you want a supra with an alloy v8 there are plenty of toyota options.
hell just look at what MA-Motorsports has done with their nissan drift program.

People don't have to build what you would, they're free to build what they want. And you're free to whine and complain about it!
The End.

I couldn't care less what someone who equates a V8 RX-7 with a Camaro thinks, obviously he knows little to nothing about cars in general! Just trying to shine a light for the ignorant, but of course it is pearls before swine in most cases!

you think you are an automotive genius because i made a broad generalization....
congrats you are greatest automotive mind on the internet..

You said "if you want a camaro or a corvette go buy one." That's not a broad generalization, that is you pretty directly implying that a camaro or corvette would be essentially the equivalent to a V8 RX-7.

ZDan, could you perhaps throw up some weight and distribution figures, dyno sheet, times at tracks (with some comparative cars), and pics of the sexy, sexy FD (doesn't have to be yours), to put things into perspective.

Sexy FD body with a powerful, reliable, drivable engine sounds heavenly or evil depending on how you look at it (both in a good way)

You can't deal with people disagreeing with you, whats the difference? At least I didn't have to resort to calling you names in a weak attempt to make my point.

Please, quit while you are ahead and remove yourself from this discussion.

Ill be fine. I enjoy posting in the thread and i was stating my OPINION. I did say "dumbasses" because its frustrating when people are constantly sitting there saying sbc is way better. Yes i let yall get the best of me, but guess what. I stated something and my OPINION's got deleted. Yes i got an infraction for calling the general people who keep insisting on the opposite of my OPINION "dumbasses" but guess what. I don't care.
