Turbo the stock one and you would have my interest. I don't need 850 HP, 300-350 would do it.

Yep, stock is 1.3L, twin rotors. This is a 3 rotor conversion, hence the increase in displacement.

I remember when this car came debuted @ Seven Stock. I like the idea...have less than favorable things to say about Marcos and his business dealings.

What a great car. The stock RX-8 would have been a fantastic car were the reliability, gas mileage, power, and little nuances of the rotary motor were addressed. Aside from those quibbles, I love it.
Makes me want one even more
