What rear tail is that?

It's true that normally aspirated models make lower torque readings. The turbo cars improve in that catagory signifigantly but I suspect that is true of turbo cars in piston engines as well. For example my 944 turbo makes 280 rwhp and 307 ft-lbs torque whereas my friends RX7 makes 370 rwhp and 309 ft-lbs torque. I would think that if I were making the same rwhp as him my torque would be closer to 400 ft-lbs. His RX7 is a two rotor engine. If you go with a 3 rotor car all the low torque talk is out the window. A stock twin turbo 3 rotor makes 300 hp / 300 ft-lbs of torque.

However, for our "torque" sensitive 901 and 915 transmissions is having lower overall torque and peak torque at high rpms such a bad thing? Sounds to me like a rotary and 914 were meant to be together. So come on guys, follow my lead and drop a rotary in your engine bay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
