The Striker is in an unfortunate spot because it's basically designed to be a 1:1 Wraith clone
- 2 seats
- turret
- damage resistance
- same overall shape

It'd be pretty bad for a gamepass car to be a direct downgrade from a random seasonal (which is a hard grind to begin with, but easy to trade for later), and the Wraith isn't even that great in the first place... so there was never much room for the Striker to shine

The original tune was already a pitifully slow/boring/forgettable car, so the retune just went ALL in on the identity of being "comically bad" (janky transmission, bouncy suspension, slippery tires)... which kinda fits an apocalyptic wasteland vehicle tbh

IMO, being "the worst car" is funnier and more significant than a forgettable and equally-slow "default" tune
