By the Letter of the Law the car is legal for STX.
Technically it's based on the G35 sedan just like half
of Nissan's current models.
That being said, I really think it belongs on the
exclusion list, since it's a B-stock car, and the only
other real BS car I think of that is similar is the
E-36 M3 (though that has less power than the G35, and
does come with a torsen Diff). and that car is
specifically excluded from the list.
Where does the RX-8 fall in the STX world?
But I don't pretend to know or understand all the
rules, I just like to play with cars. :)
