I am not surprised. I suspect he was not used to a rotary and a six 
speed gear box and did not understand that one could not just floor it in
any gear above first and have it pull strongly away in the piston 
engine RPM ranges. 

I was thinking about that today. Instead of a six speed auto transmission 
Mazda ought to think about installing a supercharger.
