The addition of the 2009 or something different?
Yup. And if I could use a jdm cam jk just the 09. Building Raymond a car and we have some 09 stuff we may want to use...

The E36 isn't considered 'low' in ITR by any means. It is at about the lowest possible min weight in ITR given a 30% multiplier, which is soft. 35% is even light producing a theoretical 210whp.
.
There is some talk of shifting the bogie for R slightly up, lowering the weights on all existing cars. THe perception, and I agree, is that the wrong bogie was chosen for R (the E36), since it is on the bottom end of the R scale, not the middle. No action on that yet, but there is talk of it.
123hp. Not your typical flowing 16v head. A LOT of exhaust port restriction that could be addressed with porting and bigger exhaust cams, if it were not for IT rules...
That is a lot of weight for the GTI's small brakes (same as the A1 and A2 8v cars), and these cars carry more front end weight. I don't recall if any were available with manual steering, and obviously the head and intake is a bit heavier. Not sure that I see them keeping up with A3 VWs (maybe....), let alone Hondas in ITB.
Here's what I remember:
2. Stephen, the decision on the 2009 RX8 was to add it, but to do so on a different spec line. Too many changes from the early model.
Curious to know for what reason. Cars have the same motor and are set at the same weight. If there was a difference that would impact its performance in IT it would come up with a different weight. That said you have just created a complex system for no reason. With the vin rule it is a moot point as we can build any shell to 09 spec.
