Great, why do they even pretend to have rules or classes? I imagine all the other teams are pissed.

I think the rules are meant for other teams to be able to buy the parts, not for normal street cars. The $26,000 probably includes factory support and spares etc. for other teams that want to build an FR-S for the series. They aren't getting around the rule, this is exactly what the rule is for.
In fact it says so right there in the memo

regulations require Scion to provide parts information through Scion dealership Parts Departments. The requirement is meant to support Pirelli World Challenge race teams that have an interest in racing Scion products.
