I just hope they actually run the car this weekend. Prove to us the warranty (and reliability) by running it down the strip and giving some test drives. 
Simply looking at it isn't going to be enough to sell me. I will try to get shots of the engine bay.

like Mike said, come to the Rotary Revolution end of the month in Indy if you want to see the car in the sheet-metal.

Here we go again.
RX-8 Supercharger = No warranty anywhere but Sunflower.
PERIOD.
You take that car to any other Mazda Dealer with a Check Engine light, traction control problem, tranny problem, busted half shaft, ANY DRIVETRAIN/ELECTRONIC/EMISSIONS ISSUES PERIOD and they will laugh in your face.
Now if they have found an aftermarket warranty company that will back them up then that is another story.
Yeah I know let the flame war begin but I have seen it too many times.
Hell spend the $40,000 take it to the track break something and see what happens, what have you got to loose.
They didn't get my business on my car even though they are 2 miles from my house. The assistant sales manager that was filling in for Larry was a DICK and wouldn't take my deposit.
Larry was cool and I would buy another car from him if all of this turns out to be true.
We'll see.

The only thing I got of interest was that they had not yet "tuned" this setup. So I assume they are still in the early development. Other Rotary revolution attentee's may have more info.

Engine Management by Canzoomer! sooooo if you have the canz mod it would cost less? of course you need the proper maps. It looks a lot like the s2000 centrifugal supercharger kit. I like it!

RX8FANMAN... IN YOUR SIG
"Get a good look at the back side of my 8, cause your gonna see it a lot."
Thats doesn't sound right...
it should be...
"GET A GOOD LOOK AT THE FRONT OF MY RX-8, cause your NOT gonna see it for long"..
RX-8 has low torque so... people will be ahead first 20-30 mph... then it will shoot out like a crazy man on steriods...
