Prototyped it into a racing engine, and was blowing Mercury away.

It's a shame they didn't have the time and finances to really develop
it.

I always heard the weakness was the rotor seals

An old GF in Virginia Beach had an RX-7 and one day it just didn't
start. I
remember it had some miles on it, but not close to 100k.
She was told by Mazda mech that rebuilt the motor that once the
seal/compression ring thing wears, you get no compression and no more
zoom
zoom zoom.

But power to weight ratio is real good. What was the gas mileage like?



It was very high when the car wasn't running. Otherwise, nicht so gut.
