Well I’ve owned an RX-8 and an RX-7 and just bought another, so I’m not moving anywhere it appears....

Jeff, I’ll also amend my post from last night to say that the LSX is one hell of an engine. Reliable, powerful, relatively compact and lightweight for a V8, and cheap. Great combo! For me I just think that the engine is the essence of the car, particularly a more unique engine like a rotary. I think you ruin the spirit and uniqueness when you toss in a LSX. For that matter, I would probably consider a rotary swapped Corvette as stupid because a Corvette without a big American V8 just seems blasphemous.
