Jeff, most rotary enthusiasts premix with their gas. It’s a safety and longevity measure, it adds extra lubrication for the apex seals and protects you if the oil metering pump fails. One of the biggest misconceptions is that rotaries burn oil because they are crap. They burn oil by design for internal engine lubrication. I have no doubt that the 787B fuel was premixed, and it won Le Mans.

I think the “LSX all the things” movement is stupid because if I want a car with an LSX I’ll buy a Corvette. To each their own and I love a good hot rod, but in a car like the RX8 you’ll throw off the weight distribution and handling. Yes they make great power, and power can overcome a lot, but if you want huge HP you’re looking at the wrong car. Much like the flat six is a great fit for a 911, the rotary fits well with the character of the RX8.
