The people I have met that have rotary RX7's are very different from other car groups I have seen. Most are very meticulous and have a technical education. Not that they are mechanics. I just see a lot of IT, programmer, engineer, or professional people in these cars, Vs. other car groups. Drag racing is not a big pull for me, and from the other RX7 guys I have meet, I would say 80% lean toward road course tracks instead of quarter mile. So, to say that you haven't seen one worth the trouble, make any power or a good pass, is understandable. I haven't seen many Lotus owners put down any great times. But, then I wouldn't got to the quarter mile track much with one of those either. It's still a nice car though. I like cars enough to know what I want out of what I'm driving. I respect other builds for their uniqueness. But, I think if I got to the point where I was looking down on other peoples rides that have good thought behind the build(not just Kmart bolt ons). It would take the fun out of the car scene for me.
Let's not forget, the 13B rotary is going on 15 years old. Yet, still out and making enough power to surprise most people.
