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.
