Aluminum driveshaft

Did the TTA's come with an aluminum driveshaft from the factory?

I have never seen one with aluminum, some of the v8 cars did but they all had 700 transmissions too.

Thanks guys. Just reading the rule book, I can run one only if it came from the factory that way...

Strange that the TTA didn't come with an aluminum shaft. It was part of the 1LE package on 3rd gens and the TTA has the 1LE brakes and fuel tank.
