there not talking shit about a v8 conversion just simply saying that there's different strokes for different fokes i.e. some would op for a v8 conversion and some are die hard rotary fans which is the motor this car was designed for. Maybe a v8 conversion would be great for an rx7 that is already ready for the bone yard but not one that is in mint condition and with a lil work would be just as fast as if it had a v8 but without all the work and butchering and still retaining good gas mileage.
