SpeedSource Rx-8 Specs??
Can anyone give me the details on what specs Speedsource's Rx-8's are running? Such as ECU, exhaust, and suspension setup....etc.

I've gone to their site but can't find any "details."

Thanks

The only thing I am sure of is that they are using a Motec ECU. I believe, since the rules are pretty open on the exhaust, they are running a mostly open exhaust. Muffling is used only to meet noise limit requirements. For the Suspension, I belive the springs are custom made. If I remember correctly, the spring rates are higher than anything comercially available.
