I guess you don't mind being second best then.:)) And it's only 45 year
good ol' American tech not one hundred year old. The wankel has been
around at least that long also, if my memory is any good, 1945 in
Germany sounds about right, albeit not very reliable until the Japanese
made it work pretty good. Now put a turbo on one of those V8's and we'll
see which one gets there first. You don't see any Top Fuel dragsters
with wankels in them, or F1 cars, now, do we ????
