I hope you guys are ready for direct fuel injection AND laser ignition (no spark plugs).

Excellent question.  I'm almost afraid to answer because 1) I'm probably

If you look at pictures of the 16X rotor here
  http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=140474

about mid way down the page there's a comparison between the 16X and the
13B rotor.   The 16X rotor is almost identical but slightly bigger.  I'm
just looking at the commercial around the 33 second mark and saying "hmm
that looks bigger than a 13B rotor."

Pretty scientific huh?

Dude, you gotta go with what you've got!  Woohoo! The 16X is alive.
