I haven't actually "converted" anyone, but have definitely raised awareness of rotaries among friends.

Geez, countless people - it got to the point where we would find a nice RX-7 for sale and have to figure out who would get it!

Raised awareness is definately the best! Everyone in my town with a fast car drives a 5.0 mustang. I just wanted to be different but not rice different.

The faster of the bunch was extremely suprised at how well my car spun second and I basically have a stock turbo with aftermarket exaust, but not for long!! He looked extreamly surprised at the performance.

I gve this kid at my school a ride and he didnt want to get out.

I've never converted anyone to the rotary side. Someone has to just want it. and take it.

Lol, it's hard to convert somone to these cars. It'd be easier if it was a car that I wasn't worried about blowing up in the case that I let someone else drive it.

5, working on 6th.

Turbo ported rotary with nitrous makes for an easier persuasion.

I have made a whole lot of people want TIIs, but they give up too quickly when they can't find them.
