I'm just saying, this is a relatively moot argument. Power to weight ratio is a more accurate measurement for performance.

Normal ==not $300k.

Comparing HP/liter between the rotary is inevitably misleading as well.

Nobody said it is the best measure for performance, it's just a pretty impressive feat that we will likely never see again in a sub-$100k car.

Yes as "normal" I meant cars that are most of us price range. Now there is debate on hoow much displacement it has weather 1.3 or 2.6 liter...

I would go for the g3 forsure!! I have em on my car already
