The big issue with a rotary and especially a turbo rotary is the exhaust. It 
exits the passenger side and can reach in excess of 1500 degrees maybe more 
with a turbo. Otherwise I would be all for it. Compact design and easy ways 
to make big power. I have seen NA motors put out 250hp easy.
If you find a way to keep from melting your passenger feet to the floor let 
me know. I am considering building an E mod autocrosser and would use a 
turbo rotary but theres no passenger seat in the plans so no worries there. 
there might be a way to make a sheild to go between the body and the 
exhaust???  Just a thought
