• 15mm Vented shock caps and foam bladder compensators for increased rebounding ability to the shocks and improved pressurization during temperature fluctuations
• Adjustable front and rear hinge pin braces offer multiple tuning options with sixteen adjustment cams on the rear brace for quick and easy adjustments
• A redesigned 8IGHT 2.0 European-style body creates more down force on high speed European tracks

Looks like they did the shock mod. They will include some really nice parts stock.

This kit is really just a 2.0 with a high speed track set up The only real changes i can see is the shock tower and probably a little caster change, Maybe gearing, other than that...

Nobody hit the panic button, they basically just laid the shocks down and gave it a body and an extra suffix on the name.
Along with the predone 'shock mod'...dunno why we can't have that over here
Looks like they played with the caster and kingpin inclination maybe and included the adj. hing pin braces already on the car/in the kit.
Anyone know what our caster and kingpin inclination is now on the 2.0? They mentioned the 5deg. and 12deg. caster on the EU; I don't even know what the current 2.0 specs are.

Cylinder head looks very very Novarossi-esque (like the current Toro/+4 machine work/top fin).
