I love the RX7's with the LS7 conversion in them. Those are great!!! and probably just a little cheaper than actually owning a C6 Z06. lol Now something i would love to see done with a mustang is a corvette style IRS with the tranny in the back done on a mustang to see what it would be like. Just an idea.

So by your logic? pushrod small blocks are right behind rotaries in terms of reliability?

and both are far ahead of either modmotor?

Do you have any actual experience building and maintaing high horsepower modmotor cars?

Obviously not, because if you did, it doesnt take long to realize where they fall in terms of reliability.

... interested to know how a 4v is easier on short block parts... The argument that a part that is twice as complicated, twice as heavy with twice as many moving parts is more reliable simply defies even the simplest of intellects.

Yeah this dude is an idiot.. I guess his logic is the explanation as to why F1 engines are so unreliable? You know the kind that spend hours upon hours at 18k rpm and piston speeds in the high 20 meters/ second?

Are you saying that your engine is anything close to resembling an F1 motor? Yeah, all those HOURS before being broken down and rebuilt for every race. This comment alone shows that your not worth my time.
