yeah.. that thing probably has more power AND torque than weight.. Kp6x Starlets weight only 800kg from factory.. strip it and replace all possible parts with modern materials and you get comfortably under ~600kg. Add a Rotary engine ( 13B's can be pushed beyond 850bhp nowadays ), and you have a monster, ready to put big block V8's in shame..
The methanol funny cars will do the 1/4 mile in about 6.5 seconds iirc. Though they have a higher speed at the trap. They have 3,000 bhp, too....Those Starlets aren't far behind that, quick. Trying to think what the 'street' cars do...
Truth be told I don't like big block noises either. Give me a small block 6/8 cylinder, flat 4/6, or inline engine noise. Those are what "floats my boat".
I love the noise an F1 car makes, I just can't stand watching them race. Put that engine or one like it in a street car and then we'll be talking about some awsomeness.
What is all this nonsense about what engine sounds best? In my opinion every engine in any vehicle sounds amazing. No engine sound annoys me. I love me some cars.
Coming to think about it, no engine on any vehicle annoys me. Really.
Also, Puerto Rico has the fastest rotaries in the world. This and other reasons make me proud of being Puertorican. 👍
You city slickers wouldn't know a tractor if you heard one. Mostly, they sound like trucks (lorries) because they share engines with them. Old tractors sound either like older gasoline truck/lorries, or a consistent "Putt" every 1/2 second. (trademark John Deere)
Rotary Starlets are insane..
