Just a few examples with the same RE Amemiya FD3S Touge Version. It seems though the one in GT5 has some difference with the one IRL. Like the Red Accent Bride Seats(Which are black on the actual car), few decals on the front were replace, there's no Aspara bottle vinyl on the doors. But I remember seeing a picture with the exact stuff that GT5 had so must of been like that after RE Amemiya build the new Maou. RE Amemiya build 3(or 4 if you count the white Boost-Up) Touge FD3S in Hot Version, which is the 2004-2006 spec(in GT5), The 2007 Version-Up with Wide Body, Aftermarket Turbine and etc, and finally the 2009 Green Amemiya FD3S with the weird(but actual working)bodykit.
Part 1 and 2 were uploaded by me.
(This one is the upgraded one)
EDIT: Here's the picture of the one that GT5 made.

When this discussion occurs online (which it does) I always bring up the tires it comes equipped with when purchased. Sure I only drift on comfort hards but I believe all of the D1GP cars in the game come with comfort softs, whereas the Amemiya FD comes with sport softs.

Quick question:
Amemiya RX-7 x Bathurst RX-7, both optimaly tunned for drifting... witch of them is more unfair?

Was this to me? I specifically said Spirit R, the newer of the two premium FDs in the Mazda dealership. This one is somehow grippier than any other Mazda FD road car in the game. The Type R Bathurst R is nice, but I don't look at it as a "cheater" car the way I do the Spirit R.

The Bathurst has no where near the same amount of grip that the Spirit R has.

Ok, so im not understanding...
As premium we have 2 RX-7 road cars: The Efini (low wing, the one i use) and the Bathurst (High wing, considered a unfair car by many). If the Efini is the "A" and the Bathurst is the "R", then what "Type R" youre speaking about?
I guess i should clearify that i was speaking about the premium car, or use the right classification between "Spirit" and "Type".
In this case, i´m sorry. I didn´t mean to make fun of anybody here.

Well, not at all. I have a pertinent doubt facing 2 of the most "unfair" RX-7 in the game and it was already answered. You can continue the topic if you still think it should be discussed.
By the way, my point of view is:
- This RX7 is a D1GP car? No, its a touge time attack with many grip and aero ratio.
- Is it driftable? Yes, and many people uses it.
- Do i like it? No, specialy because i don´t like cars that i can not paint.
- Is it fair for competitions? Depends. In the right hands, in the right track with the right setup, its a very cheaty car. But normaly im not afraid to tandem against this car when i see it.
- How good is it for drifting? I only would know after seeing it on extreme challenges.

Really guys? Theres pictures of the exact GT5 version drifting in real life. Its the same as any rx-7 just a better body kit than GT5 has to offer. But with turning down all aerodynamics it shouldnt matter what body kit or spoiler you have. And i personally primarly use the amemiya because of looks and controlibility. It by all means not any better than most stock cars in GT5. I dont have the engine upgraded and it has 487 hp but usually it wont go keep up with cars. Gears set approiatly helps get it up in to 60 mph but it can over shoot a turn then. Honestly, i think driftem if ya gottem. Just dont get stupid an use like a Enzo or Ford GT. Not meant for drifting whats so ever.

This car isn't meant for drifting either. The Animeya I mean. It's a LOT grippier than most standard cars, which for me is a reason not to use it. Read more of the thread before commenting

I read the whole forum. I drive many cars that are stock but who cares if you use a car with alot of grip? The BMW M3 coupe has alot of grip and so does a earlier stock rx7. I could care less what anyone thinks but im just trying to get a point through that the car is also set up for drifting, stock cars cant grip like that cuz GT5 doesnt have good body kits. If they put body kits like the Amemiya then most cars would probly grip just as well depending on hp and torque. The Blitz has body kits and everything yes, but still slippery cuz of power and torgue. If you have a problem with it then dont use it for drifting. I personally think it works better as drift car than a time attack car.

I have that car. It's for both in my opinion but it's used a lot for drifting.
