I must agree.... Mazda rotaries sound like s-it but man, they DO "produce" HP lb for lb, eh? :) Oddly enough, this was also the case for WW1 aircraft rotary (different "rotary") engines as well, ultimately replaced by the radial as the rotary's gyroscopic forces limited higher power outputs beyond about 200hp (considering the "light" aircraft construction of the times) as I understand it.
