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 EVO IV will be a good battle car.....86 IMO is only good for TA....

Yeah, I was using an EG6, but it's just not cutting it anywhere but Happo.

Evo great battle car, 86 its better for show then anything,unless your a complete Nautral at this car, then TA and battle is good

Gotta agree with volt and saito!


*waits for deo to reply*

So far, some of the best records on my local machines are by DC2s (dun need to be too good for that) and by a single EVOIV.

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.

I think I'm going to go with the Evo as a battle car, but also have an 86 just to have one, because I've only tried it out once.

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....

Battle wise there's NO comparison!

ok never mind, i was gonna say to edit it but......... have to agree with ya there.

I had a 86, it was my second car from Ver.1 but on ver.2 it sucked major monky balls...

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?

Then I'm a crappy player so far, I can't handle it well, but I didn't know a wall contact = shit for the 86. With the other car it ust make your acceleration less fast but, the 86 is another thing, I'll have to concentrate on that

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.

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.....

Yes... drifting makes the 86 go faster. Not sure why... but... it does.

on most cars it does...as soon as u drift or powerslide the car.....then press on the pedal the aceleration of the car goes almost near normal...

There's no drifting in Initial-D! You want a challenge? Get a Capp and then come talk to me, better yet try an S2000 cause it sux balls!

Yeah i remember this convo with KrazFD b4..really there isnt any drifting in ID but the closest to actual drifting in the game was the capp...hope KrazFD doesnt see this...lol

^ Truuf!

If all four tires are slipping, you're drifting. ^_~

Take it to KrazFD...we had a big convo about this in a thread..didnt look good ....LOL

I'm not even going to open this can of worms back up.

Please don't....o.o....hates seeing Kraz mad and crazy like... ()_O

w3rd
