Mazda's IROC?

Just thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing my 1991 RX-7 convertible with a L98 V8

Looks really nice, and at home. How is it on the roads, how much different does it feel?

WOW!
Someone has some money and time to throw around!
That thing must move!
Last time I was at the track I saw an RX7 with a V8 and it put a serious stomping on some severely modded Mustangs.
I'd like to see your times if you bring it to the track.
It looks really nice... good job!

Holy ****, I want one.

how could you do something like that
the inhumanity
the rotary g0ds are going to look down on you with such sacrilege
and may they curse that car

ok now that I got the rotary purist part of me out
just curious did you keep the IRS rear and stock 4.10?
also how did the motor fit up?
any change in the way it turns, or just rides?
have you put the thing on corner weights.I'm curious as to how close it is to the 50/50 weight distro that the original has.
how much did a setup like this cost and how much was into the fab?
and how come a V8 in a conv when the common swap that gets done is the TII?
