It is.

I would have to add in that it seems that you have enough capabilities to machine out your own 2spd gearbox if you wanted to. They would end up being a lot lighter than the SS. Idk how the lightening pattern would hold up but how about 1/8" side plates? You'd still be adding bumpers (if that rule still applies for 09). Try to spread the battery and compressor weight in the back more unless the game calls for lumping their weight together in one corner like Overdrive did for many teams.
