i think all the loud rotaries are funny.

one of the quickest/fastest NA rotaries around -- Jesus Padilla -- is probably one of the best rotary exhaust notes I have heard -- fast and quiet

Jesus clicks off a mid 9 second pass and sounds good and then you have the loudest NA rotary in the world run a 14.5 -- you think they would take a lesson

Lol, sounds like most V8 guys at local tracks. There is always at least one person who feels the need to run open headers on his lighting fast 13.90 car.

Pepe Loco Carlos said it which is why he made the switch to the toyota power but he not everyone has their rotor knowledge down packed.

from what i understand, the ignition setup in Carlos' car wasnt setup correctly with his rotory setup, and it wasnt lighting the spark plugs in the right order, or wasnt lighting the 2nd spark plug all together. i was speaking with a guy that lives up there in N. Jersey who is friends with him.
