That said... using ALMS race tech from the 05 season is interesting, as is the 3 rotor engine, even if making a paltry "450" hp and running on silly E85.

I like it but I'm tired of looking a concept's from Toyota, having waited this long for the Supra replacement it's frustrating to say the least. They need to yank that dang rotary out of there and drop a modified TT 5.0 ltr 1GZ-FE V12 from the Century limo into it, leave the Wankel tech to Mazda.

indeed. And i have to admit that i quite like the idea of the rotary engine, there are less parts in movement, which means, less chance of breaks...

really? I just reported what i've read some years ago on a car magazine, i have never tested it directly.. but all the testers found that car awesome to drive, and they didn't write something really negative over it!

anyway, was it a rotary-engined the Mazda that won at LeMans?
