Re: WHY SO QUIET? - Bagging Rotaries and or Anything??

[Anthony La Malfa]

Listers,   Unless anyone knows what they're talking about when it comes to rotoraries I suggest that they stick to what they know and not abuse other types of motors just because it is not their preference. I believe that any motor that is producing a considerable ammount of horsepower and / or has unusual modifications should be admired... whether it be a 2 stroke/4 cylinder/ rotary or V8... turbo or supercharged or NA.... it doesn't matter.... obviously the person who has built this motor has built it and put it in his/her car for a reason.... to please themselves...and their purpose...not to please everyone else.... In regards to power and performance that a rotary can produce one only has to look at the TOP 10 1/4 Mile stats.... I think 80% of these cars are rotaries.... and these motors have been built to last the 1/4 mile run if that??? SO ARE THE V8 Dragsters are they not??? Yet everyone bags out rotaries for reliability....  My mate Daniel with EGG-12A drives his Mazda 323 12A Turbo powered wagon that is a street driven 11 second car everyday for work and does almost 1000kms per week... without fail...  is that good enough for reliability??? and as for toruque.... we put it on the dyno the other night.... 270Kw... of everyday power on only 14psi.... hmmmm... not bad for a so called "lawnmower/chickencooker/whipper snipper/ or wanker/l"   My thoughts,   Anthony GOD-20L   Anthony La Malfa     ----- Original Message ----- From: James Marmont To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 7:24 AM Subject: RE: WHY SO QUIET? you know as well as i do that they have no torque when compared to a piston at the same revs -----Original Message----- From: Richardson, Thomas Morgwn - RICTM002 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2001 10:13 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: WHY SO QUIET?
