Don't you just hate it when 2 people are saying the same thing but from opposite ends? It's all a matter of perspective really, but I see what you are both trying to say. Let me try and rephrase it so that you can both just shake hands and drink beers
What
@crowhop is saying is that the car itself (the original chassis, body, etc) is a pre 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI - This is 100% correct
What
@jake2013guy is saying is that the Team SVA Time Attack version as represented in the game is the 2016 spec RACE version, built according to the 2016 Time Attack technical regulations. This does NOT negate the fact that the base car is still a pre 2000 car.
So, you are both correct. It is a 2016 spec Time Attack car built using a pre 2000 road car. Fair enough?
The confusion stems from the fact that one side is talking about the original chassis, and the other side is talking about the race trim version represented in the game. Both are right. It's just a matter of perspective and semantics really.
