Your blue car is on my top 10 list of cars I would love to own!

Talk about a blast from the past, I haven't seen that car in forever, Does it still run the times it did back 6 years ago

[rusty shackleford]

how does it handle compared to the rotary? i'm guessing its very nose heavy?

They're almost exactly the same weight.

I haven't been to the track with the glide yet but I'm hoping for some .60s or .50s

[davbrucas]

Is it for sale? That's awesome.

They're almost exactly the same weight.

I don't see how that is possible. The addition of a cam, valves, heads and then you are gong from a 1.3L to a 6.162L engine and A crank that's 3x the size.
I can and have removed a couple 12A and 13B motors from an RX-7 with a friend using no hoist. Sure as hell cant do that with ANY LS engine.

So how is the weight about the same? You are talking an increase of 230+ lbs even though the AC system was removed. Then you have an RX7 that was built to be super nimble to corner well that now has an extra 200+ lbs up front which has now destroyed the cars original 50/50 weight distribution.

The OP also states that the car is heavier. He said its a 2800lb car now. They were 2500 when new. I'm not good on the math stuffs but 2800 is more than 2500, no?

IIRC Aluminum ls motor comes out 50 pounds heavier than rotory with turbo, intercooler etc.
