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?
