StingC ... you didn't throw in the numbers / advantages of teh rotary in there. It is in a class all its own.
13b turbo with all the piping. Can hit 500hp without too many problems. About 250lbs or less. Thats longblock power at half teh weight. That is a significant difference. When you consider its used in cars built for handling, not straight lines, you get even more advantage. Unlike the v8's or i6's you are talking about, they are much shorter and lower. This puts the weight more toward the center of the car, and less around the edges, which leads to better handlign and center of gravity. That is why HP/L comparisons matter. though they all get thrown out teh window when teh rotary is considered. As for applying that same principle into larger displacement engines. Check out teh 20b. 2L of displacement, with another rotor. That gives you 3, rather than 2 rotors to make power, out of an engine about teh size of a v6. They also made an insano 4 rotor version for their LeMans car.
