So I just found this car in my UCD; but i have never seen it there before? are they very rare?

I want to pick it up because it's like an old school evo with RWD; BTW I say evo only because they share a turbo and it's mitshubishi lol; the car really looks like a Japanese mafia car in the 80's haha.

Anyhow anyone with this car? if it's rare i'll just pick it up, if it's any good though then sweet :D i'll prob make it a drifting car.
 
This is the prize car when you win the A-Spec Expert Turbo Race.

I've been using it for some online 450pp races. With sport soft tires, it suffers from horrible understeer. You'd think it was a front wheel drive car if you didn't know any better. The car has some potential to be a sleeper given its ugly pedestrian looks, but I just don't think it will be up to the task of competing with faster 80's cars like the RX-7, RS200, and 240RS. It has a narrow wheel base and tall profile which makes it difficult to balance the weight across all 4 tires.

If I get the car to win a race, I'll post the tune. As of right now it qualifies anywhere from 1 to 3 seconds slower than the pole on most tracks and with running clean lines and drafting I'm usually able to secure a top 5 finish. That is mediocre in my book because I am usually running on the pole or less than .5 seconds behind.
