Ecotecs are some really amazing engines, but meh, doesn't move me at all. The fact that rotaries took/take so much engineering to get them to function for as long as they do is enough to make me lust after them more than anything else. lol And boxer engines are just straight up cool, haha.

yeah ive always loved rotaries since ive found out how theyve worked.. i am a huge fan of the straight 6 as well.. the Ford Ba-Bf series motors from the Xr6 falcon in Australia..
