There is an article in this months Sport Compact
Car about how some dummie spent big bucks shoehorning a
300 ci LS1 V8 into a third gen RX7. No expense spared.
Surprise! The 159 ci rotary was .12 G quicker on the skid
pad (that's a lot) and 3.85 seconds quicker (that's a lot)
around a real tight road course. (Streets of Willow) The 80
to zero stopping distance was 35 feet shorter from 80 MPH. Duh!

What a way to ruin a great car.
