Japan's Version of The Fast n' The Furious- Speed Master Movie

Nice! but I can see that the movie has used a lot of CGs indeed... Dhel I must agree with you that they used a mid 90s car line up, instead of using a 350Z they used a 300Z.. (cute chick driver of the Z huh

)

Too bad they had to cancel the use of Godzilla bec. of the evil RX-7 boss car. Just like, drey, M54, and the Japanese fans, I too am a bit dissapointed lang.. kinda don't like what car the main character takumi wanabe uses, the oh so under powered white RX-7 FC.

Wow! The CGs looks like the intros of NFS!

Parang NFS nga, hehehe. Adrenaline pumping naman yung trailer. Sana nga lang may Skyline.

It's a Japanese movie... that's probably the point...

It's the whole tuning culture and ethos. Take a cheap underdog and tune it to catastrophic heights of power and speed.

That's why Initial D was such a hit... would it be believable for the hometown hero to own a Skyline? No. He had to start from a lowly position, using a non-descript and underpowered car, which his dad tuned into a handling monster.

And even when they gave it more power, it was still not a very fast car.

While having the hero drive a Skyline or a 350Z would be nice... it's not as much of a thrill... you know he's going to win, right? But if he's driving a ratty old AE86 with an engine that's about to bomb, or an old cobbled-together Mustang with a solid-rear axle and dubious handling... then it gets interesting.

Exactomundo!!!

Just like in Initial D, Takumi in his "Hachi Roku" taking on and handling (usually from a late comeback) the bigboyz from RX-7 FDs to Godzilla GT-R! Buti pa dun sa Wangan Midnight, where the main character Akio Asakura uses a "cursed Midnight Blue Devil Z" a Nissan Fairlady Z S30Z (known as the Datsun 240Z in certain markets) mas believable ng KONTI kc the car itself is... possessed... scary.....

HUWAT ??? EVO and SUBBIES not for drifting ?? you must be kidding me.. mas ok nga pang drift yan kasi AWD ...

If you know the EMPEROR team in initial D then you will know

AFAIK RWD cars are much more preferred drift machines than AWD since having an AWD machine gives you more grip on the pavement...
my .02 cents...

I think the Emperor team in Initial D valued grip over drift when they were racing. BTW, it is not good to base your judgements on anime physics.

I have had the good fortune to drive a WRX and to drift it around a little. It show me that it would require pushing the car harder into the curve but would result in a "show drift" which is slower. This is compared to other cars (RWD, FWD config) with the same entry speeds to the curves.
