Rotaries are heavy motors. You DO know this right?
Putting in an LT1 or LS1 will hardly hurt the handling. A lot of guys who have done the swap actually like the handling better with the Chevy. |
you must be joking. 2 ppl can lift a 13b from an engine bay w/ no hoist. try that with an ls1. those guys that "prefer" the handling in the chevy say this b/c the ls1 moves the rx7's weight distribution extremely to the front, which would cause understeer problems. an ls1 camaro/vette's weight distribution is more neutral b/c the rear of the car is heavier. this is why there is a more positive feeling in the chevy. |
You sound like all the annoying armchair engineers that cry on drift forums like "you can't drift anything that doesn't have 50/50 weight dist!!" idiots
No one prefers the weight dist of the V8, but the benefits in reliability, drivability, and not having a car that sounds like a chainsaw on crack greatily outweigh the weight distribution problem.
PS, if anyone is intrested in a sweet sr20det powered fc let me know immediately
