    Hells bells!! You mean you actually listened to Mr Wayper in Physics class??? I thought he was there to show you how to electrocute cockroaches or summat.

    We blew up a fish tank with Francium too.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I created a rather large explosion with Hydrogen Peroxide, some kind off zinc or aluminium (can't remember now), an old garbage can and a lighter.

    Ah, those were the days. You just can't blow up anything any more without getting in trouble...

    Come to think of it, I DID get in trouble then...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Actually, a quick google tells me the Bourke engine is the most efficient ever produced.

    At the moment. The Rotary has had sporadic R&D spread over 50 years, with some of it lost in Eastern Bloc countries.

    The Bourke is the most efficient, but the Miller cycle comes pretty close too, with a supercharged Miller cycle being very good.

    I knew you were gonna say that (in my best Judge Dredd voice).

    That would be him, 'cept when I knew him he was fresh out of teachers college with an Einstein hairdo and no limp.

NZ defines the cc rating as the swept volume of the firing chamber, making the RX8 a 1300cc car. ( I think - guessing it still shares 13B config, but with side ports)
    Stop being a difficult prick. You know that rotaries don't work the same way as piston engines. You would simply apply the same regulations as used by FIA/motorsport, ie multiply the rotary cc rating by 1.8x bringing it to 2.4L.

    I'd stop being a prick, but that would deny me some of life's greatest pleasures.

    And that rule was bought purely to stop Mazda chucking a rotary into a Eunos 500 in the BTCC.

    It may be part of the curriculum, but in which states is it actually driver licensing law?

    I don't remember him with a limp either. But what a great college eh? Taught me all I needed to know about knife-fighting.

    I went out with this chick from the UK and she wouldn't parallel park because it wasn't in the license test so she never learnt how. They do however know how to reverse around a corner from in a side street onto a main carriage way. Why, I don't know, but they do.

    AFAIK, they also have specific licenses fro autos vs manuals. Anyone want to verify that?
