Cooler than a BMW?

[b*saint]

Well whatever. To each his own. I enjoyed it so I figured I'd share it.

Boring as piss, I am sure they told him to keep it under 6k the whole fucking time. YAWN.

rotaries = puke...

I don't get it. they have no torque, sound like ass, last like 50,000 miles and burn oil...

Give me a BMW ///M motor any day of the week!

I want to see the new rx7, or it might be called the rx9.

love mazdas especially rotaries.

It just sounds soo fucking badass. I think the McLaren's S70/2 or the LF-A's 1LR-GUE is the only engine that sounds almost as cool.

I made a personal assumption based on foggy memory. Honestly The one a year how many times did various Porsche 956/62 variants win 5, I think of the top of my head.

Jonny Hebert is like any other professional driver, he'll drive if your paying him. Great driver but still what's the significance of the clip?

Ok what is so significant about an old GTP car? Mazda campaigned them for what 4-5 years but I don't think they every won at LeMans.

You just lost all respect.

i saw an rx8 with a turbo 26b engine swap here at a shop in maryland. pretty damn nuts.

i'd settle for a n/a 20b... lol.

i love the sound of rotaries.

That win is the reason why the wankel has been banned by FIA from the 24 hours of Le Mans...

Don't start spewing that rubbish...

The person who drove it across the finish line drove it for something along the lines of 5000km that race. It was a LOT of laps.

Sort of. The car set a new race record of 362 laps/4932.2km, which was for the whole 24 hours, not one drivers stint. Johnny Herbet did double stint the finish though, and collapsed from dehydration after the race, missing the podium celebrations.

They ran that chassis for two years. 1990, and 1991. They had the 767 in '88 and 767B in '89.

In 1991, the 787B won it and I think it was 787B-002 (out of 3 cars)
