This months issue of Road & Track's offshoot effort, "Speed" has an article on what it discribes as a local US Mazda based engineering "unofficial" supercharged Rx8 ~ "SPEED Editor Sam Mitani gains exclusive access to Mazda's super-secret RX-8. With its specially-designed Mazdaspeed suspension improvements (shocks and springs, anti-roll bars) and supercharged rotary, this is one mean sports car, lapping Willow Springs faster than a Porsche Boxster S or the Nissan 350Z....." http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=39&article_id=1627&page_number=1

Of equal interest (at least to me) is the accompanying information and article on the SpeedSource Rx8's, especially the fact they are able to continue uses of the factory stock brakes :-)
