Roughly my conclusion after the RX8 I owned. No torque. Rotary power was high in the band. But the handling, oh the handling. The car was on rails but I typically didn't have the opportunity to enjoy that aspect around town.

So I figured, why not the hi-po V8 i've always wanted, and i'll upgrade the handling......
