Rep Power: 348 Yeah. It's beutiful, fast and reliable. If you look at the rankings, it finished 1 lap behind the Porsche 911 that came in second, the next closest car came in 6 laps after that.

Rep Power: 348 Here's a quote I found on vtec.net:
"What you see is the hard work of about 20 engineers and technicians, who have been working on their own time for more hours than I can count to help make this dream a reality. This project would not have been possible without the help of our partners on this project:
H&R - custom dampers & springs
Toyo Tires - Toyo RA-1 race tires
NRC Aerospace - wind tunnel testing (http://iar-ira.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/aero_3.html)
Prototype Racing - custom header & a-pipe (deletes all 3 cats)
Roush Logistical Services - event transportation & support
Acura A-Spec - ground effects
Keihin - technical support
Comptech - lightweight flywheel (from CL-S), street cat back exhaust
Brembo - technical support
SPC - adjustable camber ball joints & links
Progress Technology - custom adjustable rear sway bar
Goodridge - SS brake lines"
and another one:
"We got it down to just under 2800 lbs without driver. Never been on a chassis dyno. Can't remember the exact spring rates but they are in the neighborhood of 650f/1200r, 26mm Progress rear bar.
Keihin is the OE ECU supplier. The OE ECU is flashable (just like most new Hondas since the RSX) but no one (ie. Hondata) has cracked it yet. Keihin provided technical assistance to go along with our remapping. Engine is stock with balanced crank and port matched intake manifold. Remapping was done with Joe's header and 100 octane gas. Not much is allowed for the TL , NSX, & S2000 in H1."
So, you're going to have to get everything from there. I couldn't find actual specs.
