Specifically, turbo rotary vs V8. Weak on technical content but a good 10 min watch.

Wow, the feel of a Corvette, without the golf club requirements!
In all seriousness, I really like these, and really have no attachment to the rotary, so an LS swap sounds great to me. It looks way better than a Miata also...

Fun fact: an all-aluminum LS engine is lighter than a turbo rotary (when you include the turbo bits).
Fun fact #2: Rotary maintenance is stupid. Periodically add coolant and oil. Periodically replace apex seals every ~50K miles.

I think I am not even stretching the truth when I say that rotary sounds nasty. Terrible.
