Ok inspired a bit with NSX's best drivers ranking i thought i'll start a poll about that... But this time please don't base it on who's your favorite character but who in your opinion is the best driver...

If you think i missed any good driver please write it here or PM me... I can change it and add new options... I don't count some drivers as good because f.e we never see them win or so...

As much as I should go with by bitch Mako, I gotta give it up to Takumi's old man.

so far its all about bunta. i've read from this initial D site where they got character ratings. and i just did the overall and from what i remember the rankin goes liek this

bunta: 59
ryouseke:56
kai:55
kyouchi:53
wataru:49
takumi/keiseke:48
seiji: 37
mako:29
ikenteni:19
itsuki:13

i just remember the top 9 correctly, but as soon as it hits the speed stars. i forgot. i just remembered that they were really shitty. compared to them atleast. hell they can drive alot better then me~

ahh...
looks like i'm the only one supporting the rising star

i bet in a few years Takumi will beat his old man:)

are you sure?
i bet itsuki's worse:D

remember those were overall ratings. takumi, got a higher natural instinct then his dad, but his overall understandin of mechanics and stradegy's is what kills his rating.

I 0wn j00 all, I've drifted in a Delorean (not a very good drift because I didn't want to do anything too crazy on such an incredible car).

I found a car dealership that specialised in exotics, and they had a Delorean. So I bought it.

Crown Vics can get mad bent. My neighbour has a 351 Crown Vic, and he put a stroker kit and an EFI setup from a truck into it... It's a very tail happy car.

392ci smallblock, 3700lb sedan. Drifts, is very stable, and very scary.

thats just too much for my head i can't even imagine a crown vic drifting ............ wait .......... maybe with cop livery

all this talk of drifting in weird cars kinda makes me wana try it on my Mazda MPV...hahahah!! Ultimate Mini Van Drift..zooom!! woooosh!!...bang!! flip!! crash!!!

Anywho..how much was that delorean?! i saw one on sale for 26,000 over here..but it had the aftermarket engine in it the inline 6 twin turbo..if i had the delorean i would totaly make it into the Back to the Future car...then drift..hahah! j/k ill make it fly..

I think while Bunta is clearly the better driver, ya gotta give Kai some respect for drifting a mid engined car. It's trickier than a front engined car!

I wouldn't be surprised if Kenta who was probably the worst out of the Redsuns, was better than any of the Speedstars.:hehehe:

Kenta will whip any of the speed stars. (excluding the takster) He was actually #3 in the redsuns (being keisukes protoge). At least he can make a decent drift, when Iketani has to use the ebrake.

<---gets defensive when u put down the S14 driver

actually if you dead the manga. the red sun's first stringers aren't allowed to use the e brake. and kenta is one of the top of the first stringers. sooooooooooo no e brake for him. nothing but 4 wheel drifts.

I can't find the actually manga anywhere in my little town... Wheres a good source and what can I expect to pay?

bunta ownz jooz :finger:

j/p

i is winning tho i mean bunta is :rolleyes:

Ha, do not confuse yourself with the greatness that is Bunta! :silly2:

ME!! Im the best at touge!!!

damn i want the manga SOOO badly too. i think i'm going to japan soon so maybe i can get some........i gotta take like.....5000 bucks so i can buy every issue.........yea baby!......anyways i think bunta is the best driver........since he can still drive better than takumi, who can pretty much smoke all the other guys........and girls....

Yeah Yeah, Bunta has the skill....... But what good is skill when it does not get you chicks? And we know who gets the chicks in Initial D, the man in the loafers and sport coat, Ryosuke Takahashi!

Someday I'm going to try street racing in a white sport coat, white slacks and loafers, just to see what people think when I step out of my car.

You don't really need the sport coat, just the white slacks, full sleeve button up shirt, and nice Italian loafers...

I was shocked at just how similar my style is to Ryosukes... My dressing style of course, he's got nothing on my doriftu style.

Does it ever say in Manga or anywhere why Bunta works at a Tofu Shop?!

I mean, with his skill, he could easily race and win any racing series...

He's so ghetto for his skills.

Nah, the Tofu shop is just a front for his mass pimp operation. He's pimpin ho's from Akina to Okinawa ;)

Hmm.. Pimp Bunta? That raises an interesting theory. Bunta arranged Natsuki's relationship with the old dude in the Benz so that Takumi would become jaded with women and then concentrate fully on racing.

Really?:confused:

I didn't know that.

some how i doubt that, that doesnt sound like Bunta. he encourages Takumi to become a better racer subtly, he wouldnt conspire his love life so that he would become a better racer. he knows how to push Takumi's buttons and thats not it.

Is it sarcasm?

It was all in good fun. Like I said, a theory. I was playing off of Cbass's post.

plus i doubt bunta would try and sneak into Takumi's school and plant the letter.

Yeah, that's another thing.

Say, my Kazaa connection is a little unreliable and Tokyopop has only released manga up to the battle with Shingo. Do we ever discover who told Takumi?

i think its revealed in the Manga, i think it was one Natsuki's relative. i think she did it becuz she wanted Natsuki stop it.

Hey Octagon, if you need any of the files, I can send them to you...

thats what i heard

Oh, I almost forgot. Tomoyuki Taichi is probably one of the best drivers as well. He doesn't come along until Project D, however.

damn they should put more of these guy's into the arcade

ps i still haven't beaten bunta with the Silvia S15 yet
