Watson R-Turbo

I didn't realize this until I unlocked it today, but it blows the Custom Coupe out of the water in terms of awesomeness (that and the fact that the CC is Speed and this is a Stunt).

So I did the Burning Route for the R-Turbo today to get the Burnout 2 car. Once I made it blue like all my other cars (except the Custom Coupe) and drove it around a bit, it hit me. This car is the spiritual successor to the blue and yellow B2 car from Burnout 2.

Does anyone else see this?
