Rotary power is under rated...

With all the rotary bashing being done right here on a rotary forum, I jus thought I'd share a video that helped remind my why I luv the rotary.

Irwindale 4.7

To be fair, I did watch a drag Stang, but I had to turn the volume back up so I could hear motor better.

hmm... I thought rotary's are supposed to be the one with problems...

Rotary wins by default...LS1 back'd out.

I thought the title said rotarys are over rated and came in here to join along, but brismo already took care of it. Just remember for every fast rotary car out there there are ten that are blown up

No hate I currently own two rotary FD's and one LS1 FD. Guess which one is fastest.

Since when do we consider a 12.4 FAST? Most civics with fart can mufflers can run 12's
