Thanks!

Being that I’ve race Mazdas, the funniest thing I heard in reference to a rotary in a racing application was while having dinner right outside of Daytona Int’l. At the table next to us was one of those preverbial screaming kids and a guy at our table said, “If it isn’t the kids, its the Mazdas”.

One has to be familiar with the noise those things make without mufflers.

My first brand new car was a 77 Mazda GLC. Despite being new to manual transmissions, that car lasted and lasted and lasted. Truly a Great Little Car!

Reminds me of (I think it was) Peter Egans description of the
18,000 RPM 275CC Honda CBX with six megaphone exhausts.
“Shrieks like a panther passing a kidney stone”.
