I think the lighter, stiffened and reinforced body in white plays a factor
here, as well as the type R only head, cams etc., higher compression pistons ,
which could not be updated/backdated to with the GSR.
The GSR still looks like a good car for DSP though.

Ned,
I agree with you. But remember that the committee that recommends Stock
classing is different then the one for SP. They both have their own
criteria. They have a hard enough time classing cars in their category
without having to look at other categories for consistency. I think what it
comes down to is the stock folks may have been a little easy on classing the
Type R in GS and the SP folks were a little tough putting it in CSP with the
CRX, Miata etc.
The various committees that make classing recommendation have a tremendously
difficult and thankless job (but I am THANKING YOU here :-). I always accept
their recommendations without complaint on the theory that if I complain
loudly enough someone will make me a committee member :-)
