Interesting proposals for 2010, among other items:

STOCK
- The SAC is proposing modifications to the previously-published class reorganization proposal and is seeking member feedback
on the proposal (see Fastrack, April 2009) as a whole and on these specific changes:
- The Audi R8 (V8 listing in Option 1 of the proposal is withdrawn.
- Change Option 2 of the proposal to read as follows:
Option 2:
Move models currently in BS into CS, merging the two classes.
Move models currently in AS into BS.
Move the following models into AS:
BMW Z4 M Coupe/Roadster ‘06+
BMW M3 ‘08+
Chevrolet Corvette ‘99-’04
Lexus IS-F ‘08+
Lotus Esprit Turbo ‘96-’04
Mazda RX-7 ‘93-’95
Mercedes C63 AMG
Porsche 911 ‘98-’04
Porsche Cayman S ‘05-08
Porsche Boxster S ‘05-08
The addition of the following models will be considered separately:
Porsche Cayman S ‘09
Porsche Boxster S ‘09

If they let the 09 CS with PDK in, that would be an A-stock Killer.

Is it that much different than the stick? I'm leaning toward the dual clutch jobbies being a huge advantage (GT-R, Evo X MR, etc.)... but I think it will take a couple years of them cleaning up before it becomes apparent.

I drove the 911 PDK at the launch they had at MSR and it was sweet. It even has launch control that works.

Another plus is that the new PDK Boxster/Cayman are finally available with a real limited slip, something that has been missing on these cars since their introduction.

I'm kinda surpised that they allowed the FD RX-7 in. Wasn't that the car to have in SS before the advent of the Z06? Seems to me that this would have been another C5 Corvette class except for the RX-7, which might make the "car to have" a temperamental, 15 year old, hard to find, maintenance intensive rotary.
