With about $15-20K more, yes it might be considered a supercar.
A rotary is an unefficient motor. The common 2 rotor mazda is not 1.3 liters. Yes that might be the displacement with the rotor in there, but in the real world when it is running it is about twice that.
So now, 2.6 liters making 250HP turbocharged no less is not very efficient, nor powerful. They consume a lot of fuel for that amount of power they produce.

Who gives a ---- if it is effiecent or not, they rip and with just basic upgrades it will slay some serious cars on a track.

I have a friend whose goin with me who can speak japaneese so I will know alot more details on the car then.

I don't hate rotaries, they are awesome engines and sound even better. They are so light. I want to put one on a small go-kart and a 2 or 3 speed small tranny.
then buy 2 hooked up civic's
