FPV GTHO should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Theres a few holes i guess in the STR2-RB3 theory. Firstly, the basic car would need to be open to both the Ferrari and Renault engines. Engines these days are apprently very similar in packaging, but it was enough for Newey to clearly want one over the other so theres going to be compromises. Secondly, they already had a few times this year where STR were ahead of RBR, something which isnt good for the corporate image so i'd imagine Matesich and his gang would want to keep the B team where a B team belongs - Behind the A team. The RB2 is already setup for the Ferrari engine, so if STR can get around the rules like Super Aguri are, they should be set.

If all else fails, i guess they could always continue with the STR1 as well.
