IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 43 Member No.: 4,100 Joined: Nov 2nd 2004 Location: Update Profile | I found two cards laying around my room bone stock (just beat KT on Iro in both of them), a EvoIV and an 86. I used to have an Evo at just about 1 mil points before my wallet got stolen, so I know I like the Evo. I'm not sure about the 86, but I hear good things. This car would be mainly used to battle on Akagi, Happo, and Iro.(possibly Akina, but I hate that course). And I also might TA some. So, taking into consideration those three places, which car should I start investing in? |

The 86 is nice if you know how to control it... as long as you can avoid hitting things, it's a nice car. But generally, the EVOIV is way, way better for a battle car. |

Wakarimasu ka? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,838 Member No.: 1,260 Joined: Feb 10th 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia | Good choice...the thing with the 86 is exactly wat Nomake Wan said. If you hit a wall its nearly over (well i say basically) bcoz of the pickup speed from the car is slow to me...especially in a battle...if ur neck to neck with the other player, no doubt there will be contaact and some wall raping.... |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | The one thing about the 86, however, is its top speed. It has a kick-arse top speed... and that's why if you can handle it well it's such a nice vehicle. If you can avoid striking stuff, you can keep going full-bore and kick major arse. But not even I'm at that level. I use the Trueno specifically because it handicaps me. The EVO is just turn, gas manipulation... little counter... it's so easy to control that it's crazy. The 86 requires serious finesse, getting braking, acceleration, turn-in and countersteer just right. So the question remains: how good of a player are you? |

With the other car it ust make your acceleration less fast but, the 86 is another thing, I'll have to concentrate on that |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Yeah. With the 86 it's just... death... you can't do what Takumi did against Shingo in the game, bouncing off of walls and going faster. Just doesn't work. Walls eat your speed and acceleration and don't spit them back out for you to scrounge up again. |

Wakarimasu ka? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,838 Member No.: 1,260 Joined: Feb 10th 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia | The only time ur speed get up is when you take a turn, when you release gas then apply gas again ur speed will gradually go up abit quicker..... |
