Source: Yahoo! Answers

  • You want torque, then the only way to get lots of torque out of a rotary is to do a 20B 3 rotor swap. Rotary's are fine on boost, just dont over boost them. For some more torque a supercharger would be good as it gives full boost at all rpm's. However cheap upgrades like air intake and exhaust will see you no more... Read More

Other Choices:

Among rear-drive coupes with 200 to 300 horsepower, the competition for the Mazda RX-8 is largely made up of musclecars. The Ford Mustang has four-passenger seating, a V-8 option, manual and automatic transmissions, and a convertible option. The Dodge Challenger is new for 2008, and in 2009, a V-6 version will become available. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe arrives early in 2009 as a 2010 model; it will use a high-powered V-6 and a rear-drive chassis.
