Default Ken Gushi's Drift tC in the Gumball 3000!?!?!

I didnt think that car could do 3000 miles cross country.
Looks like Gushi isnt driving it (look at the names on the rear window).

thesmogcheck.com has pictures of them, i dont know if they are powered/rwd but they are twins on the outside so maybe not identical twins but i know gushi wears the clothes and they have a deal with scion too but yeah i dont think they are exactly twins because obviously it would not be legal to drive it

So it really does have a twin? Damn! I wonder what's all done up on the replica ones outside of the body (& possibly turbo since I spy a Greddy i/c)
