I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Thats not even close to a rotary.  The closest thing i can think of would be the boxer engine, what with the cylinders moving back and forth.  The current rotary spins the "cylinder" and has very delicate apex seals these seals are the weak link in a rotary throw too much boost at them and well you have an expensive rebuild project on your hands.  That motor has some serious applications especially in aviation, same power but lighter and smaller its 13 inches around, 40 inches long and weighs less than i do you could put that anywhere.  I wonder how much boost it could take?  I wonder what its torque curve looks like?
