Funny, but I owned an RX-7 and I never warmed up to the engine's characteristics. As quick as it was, it never *felt* quick. The flat torque curve, or as you mentioned, the electric motor feel, never excited me. I replaced it with a Miata which was far more fun, for me anyway.
I'm sure the engine in the RX-8 is much more powerful and more developed than the one in my old RX-7, but anyone looking to buy one should take a good long test drive to make sure that they like the rotary engine. It's not like other engines, in my experience.
