>RX-8 makes 232 Horsepower at 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway
>corvette makes 455 horsepower at 17 mpg city, 29 mpg highway
that's 223 additional horsepower, in a motor thats 4 times the displacement, and it still gets better fuel economy.
>inb4 pigfat murrican car
its only 300 lbs heavier
rotards on suicide watch
but rx8 is cute looking
>>14643400
theres nothing cute about burning oil
>>14643385
engine being bigger isnt a good thing
>>14643417
yes there is
>>14643385
13B/renesis have 2.6L displacement if you're comparing it the right way
Tbf the actual displacement for that rotary engine is closer to 4 liters if you combine all the chambers.
>>14643385
well turbo helps and there is like 10 years between the two models
>super long gear
but yeah since only mazda invest R&D in wankel engine their doommed to evolve slowly
>>14643444
>>14643438
good thing Hp/L doesn't actually matter, Hp/lb does.
>>14643425
bigger engines typically (not always) make more torque and last longer when making the same power.
>>14643476
rotaries aren't that lightweight, but they are small.
>>14643460
>like 10 years
Try like 4 hombre
The only reason they didn't compare a new rotary is mazda killed the Rx-8 after the 2011 model year...I wonder why they did that :^}

Saged and reported for garbage bait
>>14643520
>gets btfo
>r-r-reported
announcing a report is a bannable offense senpai
>>14643501
10 years between the first production of the two cars
that doesn't make since otherwise
well the rx8 was quite a deception in sale people had waited for another twin turbo track car which the rx8 wasn't plus the fear of doritos killed it commercially
they needed to go off from a fresh start which i hope will be successful
>>14643542
sense* not since
>>14643542
>fear of doritos
thats a cute way of saying "the car buying public realized they sucked" right?
>>14643562
no i mean fear of something you don't know something different
a very basic kinda fear
>>14643577
its objectively worse by every useful metric, I don't think "don't understand is the issue"
>>14643605
>b-but muh BRAP
>muh Hp/lbs
>>14643629
Weight to horsepower is an important measure of how fast a car is, rotaries aren't particularly impressive in that respect.
>>14643417
is it really that much work to check your oil level?
>787b was such a good racer that Le Mans banned rotary
>I can't up my game so you can't play
>piston engines are polished shit nuggets
enjoy your engine knock

Its not about checking your oil, its about being dirty as fuck. Two stroke pistons aren't street legal, why is this allowed for rotaries?

>>14643665
The rotary engine was one car company's side project. If we had put anywhere near the same amount of R&D into it as we had the piston engine, we would be using it instead.
>>14643691
>burns oil by design
No way would we be using that instead
