Mike reffering to the FD with the 26b swap, heres my input:
In the artilce the writer states that most people talk mess about that kind of swap while it is being done, but then they stay quiet after they find out that it has 800 hp. Does he not know that anyone can make big Horsepower numbers off a PISTON ENGINE. They are so many more parts available for PISTON ENGINES and way cheaper too. The way I look at it is 4 Rtr FD 700hp... or RB26 Turbo FD 800hp. I'd take the 700hp FD NA . Its more unique, sexy, someone who knows a rotary knows what went into the build of a 4 rotor, compared to just a swap of a piston engine. To me it has no "WOW" factor. I give MAD RESPECT for the paint, body work, and wheels... but then again... nothing special. There is way better looking FD's out their. I just hate how people talk about PISTON ENGINES and then bash on rotaries because they have such little horsepower. They know nothing because they have never attempted to build a rotary. Im sure if they did, they'd Respect it.

IMHO, this FD pawns that FD on SuperStreet in looks. I dont know what I was thinking at the time of this pic. I though the FD has 20's on it (which explains the hand gestures) but they were 19's... they look big *** hell dont they?
