Last week, as part of our PRI Show coverage, we took an in-depth look at the rotary-powered Mazda 6 operated out of the PAC Performance speed factory in Australia, which was stateside for the very first time, giving show attendees a glimpse at inarguably one of the most impressive doorslammers on the planet. PAC Performance and driver George Reyahem had trekked to the United States last month in order to participate in the Orlando Speed World Dragway’s World Sport Compact Finals and wrapped up the trip in Indianapolis at PRI.

The Pac Performance Mazda, one of the quickest rotary-powered cars in the world — its three-rotor Mazda 20B powerplant producing an are-you-kidding-me 650 horsepower per rotor and a combined 1,900 to 2,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque at upwards of 11,000 rpm, all with the stock stationary gears and rotors and a single 98 mm Gen II Garrett turbo — has been a 6.26-second best at 223 mph ‘down under’. It’s lean, it’s mean, and it sounds incredibly pissed off. Like just-keyed-your-new-car pissed off.

Despite all that import teams like PAC Performance have accomplished around the globe of late, they’re still highly unfavored and hated-upon by drag racing fans in the United States, but we’d insist you check out the first clip from Fast Performance Videos and not turn the speakers up and rewind it at least three or four times to watch and listen again. This turbocharged three-rotor is, if you ask us, one of the most evil-sounding and aggressive race cars there is, at idle or at full-song, and no matter how deep your blue oval, your GM, or your Mopar blood runs, it’s impossible to not dig this!
