hrm, well this SS 86 does not rev to 11,000, even on full everything it hits a rev limiter at hrm, 10,100-10,200   still, it gets the power, and is a really fun and good car to drive.

My mistake... Shigeno is not the drift king.  However, I dont think it would be incorrect to say he is in the drift scene.  As for the car in GT3 and 4 I have read in quite a few places that it is modeled off of Shigeno's real car.  They could be wrong though.  As for the rev limit that could have just been a decision by Polyphony Digital to limit it, or perhaps the show is a little exagerated... who knows?  As for a real life super hachi-roku, this is worth checking out: http://www.club4ag.com/faq%20and%20tech_pages/IIda%20AE86%20project.htm . Dont know if it has been posted on these boards before (67 pages is a lot to go through) so i apologize if it is a repost.

Yeah I read that before,  Iida Akira's AE86 is the god of all 86s, even the drift king himself doesnt have a 86 like that (thought he could easily get one if he wanted). Over $100,000 was spent on it, and thats not including the special engine which has been locked at only 9000 rpm for realibility reasons. Anyway anyone intrested should read that article.

Yeah he is definitely in the drift scene, The man owns one each of pretty much all the major cars featured in Initial D

No he is not.  It is a clip from Tsuchiya Keiichi's Drift Bible (now available through the Best Motoring International label).

no they dont mean the scene in the show they mean like on the scene like he knows whats what and whos who =)

[Dapprman]

Correctamundo - I don't even know what clip you're refering too, I have a copy of the Drift Bible I haven't watched it all the way through though

The clip being referred to is a scene in the early days where the gas stand crew is sitting in a room at the gas station watching some drifting on a TV.

Brokenimage0: Thanks.
I didn't even realize where the source of the confusion was. I read "scene" to mean hanging out and who's who...

just doing my job =)

the scene is actually when the gas station owner whose bunta's homie (forgot his name) is watching takumi interact with itsuki and iketani.  i believe it is a blue car, not sure cause I'm drunk right now, but they clown on him because he does a weird movement with his hand, like he's turning into a corner and they think he's full of sh*t.  but anywho (my trademark word) let's just thank LE for all the hardwork they are putting in the 4th stage of initial d.  btw, i'm drunk but i will still out drink anyone, anytime, anywhere, anyplace. = ) have a good morning everyone! (i'm in santa barbara, california, USA..... it's an hour and a half north of los angeles)

That piece is directly from the Drift Bible.  Very good instructional video; The King takes you exactly through what needs to be done to get what everyone wants - teh perfect slide.
