[aMaff]

sure, but does it handle?

um...no. Looks like it could stand to have a wheelie bar as well...

 

[Mutmatt]

wow... that was FRIKKIN SWEET!

 

[khaosman]

4 rotor?! Hot damn! Man I'd be pretty excited if my P5 does 0-60 in 8.76s right now

 

[Nutari]

wow... that was FRIKKIN SWEET!

ditto.

 

[Skoozul]

I've had wet dreams about turning my p5 into a rotary drift wagon, but DAMN! A P5 doing wheelies is an awesome sight.

 

[sandspeed]

[JoseProte83]

ohhh my my my my my god.... That was fkng fast and amazing.

 

[Falango]

Damn that was nice! I'd like to see a run where it gets some traction off the line though.

 

[katsi]

Rotary P5 is in my list of dream cars, nice to finally see one...that was insane.

 

[rednecks_r_us]

I've been wanting to do that to my sedan from the day I bought it. I don't want to do all of that, but if I could find a last gen rx7 that was beat to hell and take the drive train and put it in mine that would be awsome! Could you imagine the look on the guys face when you fishtail from the light?

Hey, we have one of those in yellow down in PR. I don't know about specs or times but i saw in person and all, hey Jose maybe you know more about it?

 

[Flash5]

Gives hope for all of us, even though it is a very distant and faint hope.

That's an impressive exhaust pipe - 6" in diameter? I feel so inadequate.

The poor thing seems to have a wee bit of an oil leakage problem, what with the cloud of blue smoke and the black puddle forming under the exhaust. Not surprising really, since with four rotors the odds of having all the seals working at the same time are close to nil.

It would be pretty amusing to take that car in for a smog check.
