Recognize this engine?
This picture was sent to me by Steve Jackson. Any of you old timers recognize this engine from days gone by?

Re: Recognize this engine?
I was thinking the same thing but I thought Terry Hoard's car was a dark color. That was a wicked ride!!!

Re: Recognize this engine?
I`m guessing that is Terry Hoards car, out of Oregon. His original "Samurai Warrier" was a R100 Mazda rotary, which I recall was also orange, like his later, and more well known RX3 Mazda.Those things were LOUD!!!

Those engines sounded 3 times faster than they were! And, in fact, some of them were fast.

Re: Recognize this engine?
my Son worked for a Mazda dealer during the late 80's - mid 90's. He said all of the Rotary engines always received a professional test drive. He would regularly talk about how they would wind up and pull forever in each gear.

Hoards car ran in the 11.30s that I know for sure. That thing was so loud that I couldn't hear my car and I was in it. Neat car.

That thing of Hoard's was bad fast, and sounded like nothing else I ever heard.
