@@jacobrzeszewski6527 This is true. The Rotary is great and I'd love to do a swap in a car one day (always thought a 240z rotary would be badass), they're unique in function, aesthetic, and sound, but they're not good engines in the sense that they're reliable, just fun and cool. People fawn over them a lot and they should, but we shouldn't surpass the realm of truth and start saying things that aren't true - The LS is one of the best engine innovations in the last 50 years that was able to turn small displacement into huge power. The rotary can do that too - if you can handle the low torque, part reliability issues, and the heat issue (which CONTINUES to be a problem), then they are beautiful and worth it. But they are not the LS or Coyote and it shouldn't aspire to be. It is unique and to be enjoyed by it's own merits, not falsely compared to other engines. Because the Rotary has no equals in the same way vinyl has no equals. It's cool because it's cool, not because it's better.

The thing we hadn't anticipated is that these older guys who are riding Harleys now grew up riding something like a Honda Dream when they were first learning to ride and the Nostalgia and appreciation for the bike was widespread.

I have been a corvette enthusiast fro 33+ years, I am so pleased you discovered the best of us at LS fest, the rotary engine build is fantastic and I truly enjoyed watching most of it. ;) I am really looking forward to seeing it on the dyno. Now tell me who your frame guy is so I can go to him. Well done Rob, Well done!

Truth be told there actually is a rotary Corvette prototype. Also, Rob, next year you ought to come back properly. The sportsmanship of the show admins is reason enough even if you knew.

I miss content on this. I like the four-rotor a lot and have been following it for years, but this was one of the more unique things I've seen come from KZread

This rotary corvette is an Uno Reverse Card.

Rob won the award for most respectful disrespectful build ever!

You should have been like...these mazdas have been stealing our engines this whole time, now I took one of theirs!

Wow!!! You guys got some balls!!!! I went to the Super Chevy Show at E-Town, years ago, when they were a race track, before they sold out, (really I'm not mad) and some guy was trying to get in with a 280Z. They guy at the check point stopped him and told him, "You can't bring that thing in here!!! This is a Chevy show". The guy replied that it had a small block Chevy in it and popped the hood. The check point guy stared at it for awhile and said, "Yeah!! It's a small block Chevy alright. Goooa head". If you were at a Ford show, they would have your tombstone at the end of the track. Very nice, and unique build. Though I can not condone Rotordum at a Chevy Show, it is still nice, for its ingenuity, and fabrication. You Sir, are not allowed in my driveway. I'm out.

Hard to believe you came from a small town in michigan (same) and now your out here building some bad ass machines. Truely an inspiration. Hell yeah man keep it up

I LOVE crossovers like this with Cleetus showing up and shit like that lol

Cleeeetus! This is so awesome. Not only were they waiting for you to put you in jail but you hat to push you rotary swapped Corvette into jail yourself! That guy played it perfect with the "autocross section" shtick. Great attitudes all around! hope you got home ok lol.

Did you see Cleetus too? It was great seeing him in the video. I follow his KZread channel and I like Cooper. Cooper is Cleetus's sidekick. They get in all kinds of shenanigans. It is a real hoot to watch. They build some FAST CARS. One is call Leroy. It is a racecar and real fast.

I got so happy and giddy when cleetus showed up. The whole video was worth this wait. Thank you for this project Rob.

This was so awesome! The way the organizers made the whole situation into something very funny and friendly, great to see from a major company in the car community 👍

This video was so freaking awesome. If I wasn't laughing I had a smile on my face the whole video and I still do and always will. Thank you for this video.

The joke was on Rob.. I respect him cuzz He really got emotionall Wen he was recived whit open arms. Rob you have a grate heart. Keep the good work..

@Lolled9991 I used to own a rotary, that method very rarely ever worked for me, and the only time it did was when the sparkplugs were just a little wet, when the engine was properly flooded the only thing that would work was pulling the fuse and pushing all the fuel out and then cleaning the sparkplugs and trying again.

I love seeing stuff like this, when a perception from the internet gets totally blown away by reality! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you for being us along on this journey, it’s been so much fun to watch, and I’m definitely looking forward to whatever shenanigans You guys are getting into next!

that's so hilarious they were waiting to catch you. Such an awesome show of love from the community for them to plan something like this though. Awesome to see

My hat's off to you guys. Y'all have so much talent, I just wish I had half your talent so I could get my '81 Silverado running and back on the road. It's going to take me a while but I'm determined to get "Phoenix" back on the road. Been nearly a year and that's way too long and it's hard to see her just sitting there collecting dust after all the work I've done.

love cleetus and the holley crew, so awesome, so glad you made it Rob, well done!!!

See, LS guys are good people. I doubt you'd get the same reaction if the tables were turned.
