Not really funny, but just plain.. idiotic.
These are some comments I read when I looked up "World's Fastest Car" on YouTube and a clip from Top Gear driving the Bugatti Veyron to it's top speed came up. I knew where this was headed:

Too much
F&F for these kids.
For your knowledge,
kid, nitrous oxide existed before F&F. You like Initial D, don't you? Here's something that you may find interesting.

Well, thanks. Anyways, you're great. Most people only care about drifting, rather than get a fast lap time

I admit to be one of those people, as you can tell by my name

The problem is that most people drift with the 86 because of Initial D. In Initial D, the 86 always wins. Even against a grip driving R32. In GT4 you won't be able to do that against a real person. That's why I believe that drifting sucks. It's only good at doing exhibitions. But I had rater be fast without style that being slow with it.

totally right. I drift for fun and entertainment, not because its always faster (though in some cases it is). It's the same thing with the skyline. ever since it was featured in the fast and the furious, EVERYBODY says its their favorite. its my personal favorite, but for other reasons.

in initial d the 86 won because it was a downhill againts a car
thats like 3 times heavier then it, i;ve seen alot of real life videos of drift beating grip(not show drift) although it is rare and i have seen it in gt4 againts a real person
GT4 video. Costa Di Amalfi. "Hot lap" in tuned Toyota AE86 Shuichi Shigeno version. And in case you didn't figured out by now, the idiot with the ridiculous nickname
trickytaka is me. So you see, it's not only in GTP that I wear a stupid nickname.
Now, concerning the remarked part that I find funny. Considering
that R32 had an estimated power output of 400hp, and asuming the weight was kept stock, which would be around 1450kg, against a car that weighted around 940, and had 150hp (estimated by the fanboys de facto omnipotent character, Ryosuke), it's quite questionable that the AE86 even had a shot at winning that race. Add the fact that our good friend
jonnystyle132 claims the R32 had around 2820kg (three times the AE86's weight) it comes to mind whether he is certainly special, or every Initial D fanboy is stupid. I would like to think the latter is more accurate. Please don't prove me wrong.
Personally, I find more realism in The Fast & The Furious than Initial D. Physics? They suck in both. Plot? Sucks in both. Coherency? At least no 14 year old is seen drifting in the mountains. And manages to learn so many things in just 5 years.
That pretty much resumes my opinion about Initial D.
