Re: initial d 5th stage

I hear/read its coming also, but no one seems to know when. I read on one website that people were saying sometime 2008. How true that is I dont know. I hope it comes sooner though because 2008 is SOO far away.

actually the announced date is late 2008 early 2009, which really sucks...

But maybe there will be newer cars since the last couple of episodes had a s2k, im hoping to see some 350's and rx-8's in the next stage.

Yea new cars would be cool. Maybe some Euro's or demestics too just to mix things up a bit. Like Tak could race a rich kid with a Ferrari

Re: initial d 5th stage

i have no idea if that would happen, as all the races take places on mountains. how many people do you know if had a ferarri, would drive it fast cornering, instead of just straight? very few. if they are to keep this realistic in a way, there will be no rx-8 or 350z. too new of a car if oyu think about it. the newest car he raced was a s2k, so by increasing one year doesn't mean he'll race a 350z, which dropped in 03 i think. somethin like that anyway.

Re: initial d 5th stage

actually they would have a 350 and rx-8 if it was a year later, cause byt the end of stage 4 it was 2001 and that is when the 350 and rx-8 were introduced in japan. they went on sale in 2001.5 we didnt get them till 2003 and 2003.5 which was 2 years later, thats how behind we are.

Thats what I like about wagan midnight, they have all kinds of cars. The only non JDM car you really see in initial d is that dude in the benz.
