Hi
Rotry engines always had issues with smog. In order
to get them to work, they were not vary fuel efficient.
Still, a lot of Hp in a small package.

The show missed it though, since the MC Pacer was
originally
a possible candidate for a rotary engine that was replaced by
a 6 cylinder for road. If they had refitted the Pacer with a
triced out 13B they would hav ehad a better show if they had\
been racing Pacer vs something with 300 hp.
The original Ford Mustang (1964 1/2) was slated to have a rotary too.
Some early marketing material and a coffee-table book or two mention the
existance of a rotary model, but none are known to have been registered
as far as I can tell.
