The cars name is Major League and it is a 3 Rotor RX8. It just went 6.81 @200mph!!!

I think its going to get even better as time goes on.

Man lets all face it IMHO the car is impressive no doubt but i dont think it will ever be able to put up the numers like steph, scranton and the titan cars! The mph (200) is proof that the 3 rotor is down on power compared to the 6 cylinder cars. There is a hell of a diffrence between 200 and 215! But hey i wish him all the luck! And remeber records have to made and broken at a race not in testing!

true
but should one give up racing cause of it?

Lets face it the 6 cyls rwd dominate
all

You FWD racers are lucki
NHRA will not allow 6 cyl FWD to compete
cause I'm sure they would dominate also

Pro class is almost 100% 6cyl
is thats the way you want it?

I'm glad theres people out there
that are tyring diffrent platforms


don't worry tho
its take R&D
but the 3 rotors will get faster with time
Unlike piston cars
rotaries use 99% all OEM parts
