rotary

What would be the ideal compact car to drop a rotary engine into?
Assuming that it's possible.
How bout a Celica.
What would you do for a high speed cornering race car?

1st gen MR2. Probably not possible, but we're talking hypothetical here.

actually, it has been done....took a rotary right out of an RX-7 and dropped it in a Miata....with some custome fabs of course.....ran the quarter like in 11.5 sec or something like that with terrible traction......it was featured in Turbo mag a while back.....
I personally like rotaries myself....the RX-8 in April 03!

I've seen Supercharged Ford 5.0 V8s in Miatas.
