People should not be so closed minded man. When I was in High School I was reading Hot Rod Mag with there drag on pump gas. Fastest street car in America. An RX7 came in top 10 and had the fastest time at that event. I wondered what engine did he have and what made it soooo fast? I of course assumed the awesome rotary twin turbo was the cause. But I was really disappointed to read that it had a v8. WHY? HOW COULD THEY!!!!! I did not understand it until like last month. I was talking to overall car guy and he told me that the reason they do that V8 swap is soooo simple. If you get the ls7, that aluminum engine way less that a 13btt. Why? Its not that the rotary that weighs alot, Its those 2 turbos! The ls7 also has more torque and Hp stock than the 13b. Not only that, but it would last you more than just 80 thousand miles.
People with open minds can create greater faster cars. People who think that American v8 are the best or that Japanese engines are the best are just wrong. Everything has there weaknesses and there strengths...
