I was just watching some of those crazy fast and out of control rotary cars down under. Talk about out of control handling cars there must be a lot going on in the car I wish there was some in car footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2mp9d9EnngGus

Back in 1996 I helped build a Rotary Pickup. He were running the 1308cc and 20 PSI boost from 2 turbos. His pickup ran like that. Shifted at 11,000 RPM using a T-5 and 4.56:1 8 3/4 Spool Mopar rear end.
Too narrow and too short. He had a huge issue with his 60 foot times, they were 67 feet when his slicks crossed as his fronts were still 2 feet up.

Way back in the mid 70's Toyota fought with SCCA over the cc ratings of the RX2, RX3 1.1 liter. They claimed it was closer to a 1700 cc.
With 6 sides of a rotor firing every 360 degree rotation it was like a 12 cylinder firing in its 720 degrees.
Yes when supercharged they do put out a lot of torque.
