Choice of FSB or RSB in stock!... not many FWD in C-stock but I wonder if this will make Cooper JCW competitive.... how about stock FSB and removed RSB on the 8?

and when no one shows up to run the street tire PAX at Nats, they will find something else to complain about.
Agreed, although the RX-8 can run a lot more tire without screwing up the gearing (at the expense, I assume of yet more width).
But really:
this. Which won't happen, b/c THINK OF THE BMWS! Won't anyone think of the BMWs?

Seems to me the timing is perfect to write your letters to the SEB/****, as there's no way the RX8 can be seen as escalating either cost to play or performance in DSP, imho.

It would also be cheap and convenient and not much slower for where I live. 80% of the events I attend are in rain... buying Hoosier wet or R888s are great but A6 becomes a waste of money... the last time I bought a set, I had to wait 8 events before I could use them ... and did I mention I hate kneeling in pools of water to change tires!
Speaking of DSP, Focus SVT will be moved out of DSP into FSP... Maybe it's time to sell my beater car and get one of those babies!

^I was speaking from a Nationals standpoint...Not local. Our local region as well as many others around here have a Tire class that is a pax'ed based class. 140 treadware or higher is required and you run with your base Stock/Mod/Prepared class...

BTW, one of the primary reasons I bought a trailer was because I hated changing tires in 95 degree/100% humidity and or rain here.

I disagree about the BMW's getting in the way of the RX8 going to DSP. Now that they've opened up the UD/BD opportunity by putting the E46 on the same line with the E36, DSP's balance has really been tipped...so much so that you HAVE to spend $$$$ to build an E46 car, if you want to win. Also, the performance potential, mostly because of gearing choices, has taken a huge leap up.
Seems to me the timing is perfect to write your letters to the SEB/****, as there's no way the RX8 can be seen as escalating either cost to play or performance in DSP, imho.
