You own a 240SX… The 180SX didn’t even have a big part in Initial D… But why does the 240 have such a big fanbase? Because of what it can DO in real life! > > If Initial D was ONE BIT realistic, pretty much every character would either have an S13… How many S-chassis’ do you see at a drift comp. versus the number of other cars? And in real life, the AE86 isn’t as good of a car as the show portrays it to be… Seriously, why is a car worth $1000 selling for $8000? Its unrealistic, just how Initial D is unrealistic… Its just a cartoon/anime… > > F&F has somewhat more realism than that… One being that REAL cars are being used… Secondly, AE86’s don’t win 24/7. Only reason why lower-end cars are beating more powerful cars in F&F is because of the REALISM that not all drivers are Keiichi Tsuchiya, Colin McRae, or Petter Solberg behind the wheel of a car… > > Get out of your Initial D fan-boyism and wake up to reality… are you serious? do you know what 50/50 weight balance is?! thats whats most cars try to achieve and thats what the ae86 has. anyone can drift a s-chassis but not everyone can drift an ae86. the ae86 is a very potent car and the only reason you dont see a huge fanbase is that theres fewer of those around than s-chasis cars. not to start a debate but most tuners will pick a mint ae86 over a mint s13 7 times out of 10. the ae86 is what started the drifting trend in japan. in fact it cost more in japan than a r32 gts-t, s13 silvia just for the fact that its a better overall car. if your asking how realistic initial d is, they actually consult keichi tsuchiya on the whole anime. that anime is very loosely based on how he started drifting. so it is somewhat realistic. p.s. did you want the truth why you see so many s-chasis at drift comps? you can easily buy one for cheap, relatively cheap to modify, more aftermarket support, very easy to drift. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oh-hell-yes-the-fast-and-furious-vid/118003)._
