    Looks like it will pick up where last RX7 left off! Just hope that they can keep the weight down on this one and have more torque.

    MMMM.....

    don't think a rotary will ever make a lot of torque, just because of how it works.

    "the three key issues with rotary engines — fuel economy, emissions performance and reliabilit"-Exactly! I loved my 13b rx7 gsl-se , but had the same issues as usual. Especially the fuel economy . Traded it for an LS1 Camaro and went from 18mpg to 28mpg on the highway ! But the v8 felt so rough after owning the rotary that I had to have my mechanic freind assure me that's how v8s feel -

    Sexy! But then aren't all concept cars sexy?
    What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    ^Pontiac always liked a bunch of little buttons in their cars.

    One thing I just noticed on Ozmdd's "pic of the future" is the old-fashioned key in the ignition. Boy did they miss that one!

    I guess they are going with the VW hella flush stanceworks wheel/tire setup. 245 on a 9" wheel and 285 on a 11" wheel. I love the way the car looks though. If it has 350 hp N/A and weighs less than 3,300 lbs it will be fun.

    I agree with Joe, as odd as it feels.

    I typed in Bonneville, but it could be a 6000.
