[@andrewthomas5121]

[@houseking9211]

went ahead and downloaded some of the mods, the gto was fast because it was a solid 300+kg too light, the modder gave it the weight of the base model, when it's the vr4 power wise. So it either gains 300kg, or loses 100hp to be accurate. also FD supremacy

[@NateLupson]

We came to the same conclusion. Don't worry, we ran the correct weight, (1775kg incl driver) I think that it still ended up a bit too fast & that the tyres/suspension were the reason.

@@houseking9211 Yeah, we lifted the car about 200mm and corrected the gear ratios too but clearly there's a lot more inherently off about it. Probably wouldn't take much to get it 90% of the way there, but the changes were made kinda last minute and we didn't have the time.

[@lukefrost1189]

Yeah me too, that would have been interesting to see.

[@aguiii_films]

Pulsar GTI-R would have a nice chance against most competition, The GT-FOUR depending on which gen would perform like a 3000GT with less hp and less weight( id say the ST185 would be far superior to the more underwhelming ST205), and the civics would have the superior turning handling but would probably lose every time because of the final strait.. Those are my takes

[@stevieboymkii]

I think you're underestimating the ST205 or overestimating the ST185 personally.

I mean, to be nitpicky, in Initial D Bunta's 86 is supposed to be kitted to the brim with stuff, just with the OG engine. To be clear, I am speaking about the 86 in Stage One, Yuichi states this when Itsuki buys his 85 and tries to compare it to Takumi's 86, he mentions his car is like garbage even if he was to mod the car, compared to Bunta's 86.

[@speedhunter7156]

Well as much of realization yuichi tried to put on istuki it turned out the 85 was one of the fastest cars in gunma when it was all said and done takumi proved it by not only blowing by iketani but also a S15 with minor issues that takumi quickly adapted to

@@speedhunter7156 I think it's a major dramatization to show his skills though, a completely stock sohc AE85 with old tires wouldn't even be able to last 2 minutes on Mt Akina against a stock s15 before it would just be so far behind, there are just too many long straights really. a stock AE86 can't last 3 minutes against a stock s15 even with the best driver in reality. Mt Akina is also an extremely long and straight course with only a small number of hairpins compared to straights compared to say, Usui pass where there is only a few fast straights consisting of mostly corners and hairpins where a more knowledgeable driver * could * in theory outpace an s15 with a stock 85 and that's pushing it.

The battle between the S2000 and RX7 is pretty much exactly what went on in Hot Version/Best Motoring touge battles. Two of the top tuners, J’s Racing (S2000) and Fujita Engineering (RX7) would regularly battle it out year on year on Hot Version, each coming back with an improvement every time. Go watch the videos, you’ll see what started as a bit of friendly rivalry got more intense and serious as they kept developing their cars to get the honour of “Touge Monster”.

Both are amazingly quick though, and I think the cars were pretty well represented, I think both cars in the finale were more Nate's style where Jimmy was able to take the 3000GT quite deep into the competition since he was able to get more out of the boat with his aggressive style.

I wouldve thought the S2k and the RX7 would be a closer matchup considering multiple different tuned S2ks RX7s held the Maou title before. But that was a surprising performance from the RX7 against the mighty NA2R.

[@tiagobelo4965]

the kunos RX7 is genuinely one of the nicest and most predictable cars in Assetto, add to that a good 70 or so HP over the S2k with not that much more weight, and so far as stock goes, the RX7 is damn near unfair

It’s honestly kinda impressive how the GTO hangs with the rest of the cars, despite being one of the older models with less improvements- heavier, less power, and a gear less than the later model year counterparts that were on sale at the same time as the other cars were. When it came out (1990), the version shown here was sold along side the R32, FC, and Mk3 supra.

TBH, in Gran Turismo 2, the EVO was definitely "quicker" than the WRX, but the WRX had a higher top speed--it seemed like the EVO was geared to get to 200km/h as quickly as possible and, once you get the handle on the understeer, switching out the transmission turned it into a 290km/h BEAST.

3:21 No. Initial D didn't lie, they made it very clear that the AE86 was slow. But Takumi had mastered his driving on that car and knew it's limits like no other. The first engine was lightly tunned with 150HP. The second engine was a "Silver top" 4A-GE racing engine originally from a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Group A AE101 with 240hp. All that said, yes it's still slow 😂😂😂😂😂 Btw, that's in the manga's lore. Chapter 75 - Page 10/11 - "Maximum horsepower rated at probably about 150 hp."

@@skrublordnord69 Yeah. the AE-86 is a good car for learning to drift/race. it's small, light and has just enough power to be fun, just like a Miata. But since the Initial D franchise is loosely based on Keiichi Tsuchiya's life and he's a big AE-86 fan, the car is put on a pedestal. Don't get me wrong, that little Corolla is a good machine, but c'mon It can't beat all the cars in the manga that easily lol

@@Henry.25 facts. I get they put a better engine in but the race with the s2000 shouldn’t have even been a question. And yeah they do mention that in that episode but he still won lol I will say tho, I’m glad the end of the 86 was winning a race against another 86. Such a fitting end to that car, even if there’s a lot of plot armor leading up to it

@@Henry.25 as someone who recently got into the show, as sadly I never got to watch it as a kid, I started agreeing with that car being as good as the show said. Then I started driving it in racing games and that’s when I saw just how underpowered the car really was. Ik I drove it in Roblox, I don’t have a pc or AC so I can’t really drive an accurate version of it in the same courses that are in the show. So I played Roblox instead. And it was a good two months of practicing and tuning to try to push that car to its limit and my own. I learned a lot for sure, but I also learned that there’s some cars you just have no chance in beating, no matter how good of a driver you are or how well you know the course. I’ll still hold the car near and dear to my heart, and I’ll still have fun racing other underpowered cars in it. But no way am I gonna say it’s viable against the more powerful ones. And ik Tsuchiya himself even won against an r34 but he’s a god of a driver. And even HE says the car has its limits.

@@skrublordnord69 The AE-86 is indeed a underpowered car, but driving a slower car can be very useful, especially in corners. A powerful car can't stay in full throttle on a tight corner so it ends up losing time and because of higher speeds it also spends more time breaking. If you watch Keiichi Tsuchiya, AE86 vs. GTR-R34 you'll realize that a lighter car that doesn't need a lot of breaking power can stay accelerating for longer and that's how you can beat a R34 with an AE-86. But to be fair, you'll probably need at least 300whp on a very balanced and optimized car to beat an original R34 using the corners as advantage points (if you aren't called Tsuchiya). If I'm not wrong, both Tsuchiya's AE-86's that beat the R34 had 1.8L 4A-GE engines with 180hp and weighted 2,000 lb max, In comparison the R34 GTR weighs 3,400 lb and has 290~320hp. In the end, the AE-86 is good at teaching the driver the limits of their abilities and the basics of driving fast, but the car is limited to only this. If you want to be competitive, especially in drifting, you'll need at least a 1JZ with 400hp. I don't know how Roblox works, but I would recommend a 350z or a Toyota Cresta/Chaser mod

[@GrayZ_dood]

I really love touge cuz it's a lot more action packed than a regular circuit race, hence why I also love rally the most. Please do more videos of this.

Oh that poor GT-R... When I saw the NSX was its opponent, I was like "Oh this is NOT the track. The NSX is eating good today."
