Thats not Cardoc's car, as much as you want to dislike him. His car was atleast painted properly (ie stripped completely) or atleast the white one was, I saw it with my own eyes.

He upgraded his SVT to a 3L, no turbo. When he did the swap I imagine he got it painted too, the engine bay is not still red (Again, I know he did it for the white SVT, I assume he did the same for his own car)
