SGT (Join to see) I don't think any rotary engine enthusiast, like you, would include the RX-8 in that group. And don't think either Mazda would ever top the one you have.

I don't have one but they were the bread and butter at my performance shop for quite a while. Sorry that this didn't get more responses, the FD3S is an amazing chassis. I've done several LT-1/LS-1 swaps into the FC chassis as well, but those come with their own set of issues. If you can handle boost going in as apex seals go out, which most rotary owners are pretty used to, as well as a rebuild every 60k if you're lucky, then the cars are great. They are definitely what I would call an ENTHUSIAST car though, you really have to want one and be educated enough about it to own it, because it will poop all over you and your bank account if you're unprepared.
I have zero positive things to say about the RX-8. I'm a fuddy-duddy, and their initial release with their incorrect HP rating really pissed me off.
