I guess your talking about the Mazda Star Series?

Yeah I know about it but live in England so it get's very little coverage.

400 is quite respectable for natural aspiration. (Which the Furai is)

That is correct. Bonus points if you know who actually did the tuning.

I got to watch them wire up the MoTeC.

Answer:

Jim M. and the boys at Racing Beat reworked the original ALMS 20B and re-tuned it to run on Ethanol.

** Sorry it took so long to respond, I took a nap.

Idk, I saw the Gumpert and heard Hammond going on about how bad it looked and I was thinking: "Thing looks like a two-seat, street legal F1 car." 'Bout time to see someone build a car that just goes fast and does nothing else.
