Aw man, if I could go rotary, I'd do it in a second!!! Not to knock the

Monster Motorsports method, but I'd much rather see a *true* Mazda powerplant

under the hood of a Miata... From what I understand, a company called Mazda

Trix (or Tricks) has already put a rotary in a Miata... If I'm not mistaken,

he is running a 13 sec. 1/4 mi... A friend of mine, Jay Takahara, had told me

he inquired about having one dropped in his Miata, and they said they will not

do another one... I don't know why, because I don't see any reason why it

should be harder than stuffing a V-8 under the hood... Either way, I think the

car would just be a blast to drive...
