Nice - I would like to see some numbers and most of all, I'd really like a wav file of that thing revving and idling. Bet it sounds wonderful.

I'm not big on numbers as up to certain point, car becomes less enjoyable (my opinion).

I have a video but its really hard to hear.

More or less curious but can't say I disagree with you.
Firsthand experience has already taught me living with a 500 hp car just isn't the same as say a 300hp car.

Would love to have a rotary project some day but I'll never be able to approach the level of your FD.
 
Car look great, even better in person...glad to of seen it this year at IA, even got a chance to talk to you for quite some time...
 
OMG you jus made my next project an RX-7, that car is amazing, I think im gonna put all my next deployments money into a 7 now, i may even sell my MSP to help fund it..lol
 
Mmmmmm. Nice to see an amazingly beautiful car winning. Makes me want an FD more.
