Odds are good that you'll be able to win the car with upgrades on it for the same price you'd pay to buy it with the Showcase Discount.

Used to be that you could get the new cars much cheaper in the SE's, but FM's been increasing the difficulty on SE's to push players to upgrade more.

That said, the Showcase Discount price on this car is 520GC. That 520GC buys you a lot of GC upgrades. If you are OK with spending 520GC, I'd definitely put it into upgrades and win the car with a lot of upgraqdes applied rather than just blow that money on the Showcase Discount and get only the car with no upgrades.
