Theoretically, yes. The goal for STU is to allow legal World Challenge Touring cars to compete.

However, the verbiage that points to 2009 PRR and VTS is being removed for 2011. The new STU rules are intended to be inclusive of the PRR/VTS, but practically speaking I'm aware of some instances where there are rules conflicts between VTS allowances and the 2011 STU rules.

I recommend you review the STU in total, comparing the allowances in there to what you've done to your Cougar. If there are things that are allowed in the 2009 PRR/VTS but not allowed in 2011 STU rules, then you should bring those to the attention of the CRB via http://www.crbscca.com/. It's my guess they will make vehicle-specific allowances to welcome your car into STU (just a guess; I'm in no position of power...)

I suggest 2011 will be a transition year, and IMO you should have no concerns about competing in STU in 2011 in a 2009 PRR/VTS-legal car. I'm confident the ST Advisory Committee will iron out these wrinkles soon enough.
