In initial D an old AE86 can beat the other cars because its put in a position of strength (lots of tight turns, driver knowledgeable of the intricacies of the course), and later on a engine swap with a race car derived 4A-GE (helps keep up with the more powerful competition), plus a sprinkle of vehicular superpowers.

MF ghost you have a FT86 beating things like Ferarris, the GT-R...and even more overpowered modern machines....making it more reliant on superpowers and more unrealistic?

I dunno, i just heard it isnt as good as the original Initial D
Some of the initial d reasoning made more sense. Like typically the AE86 was better on the downhill since it was lighter and lower powered. So it wasn't depending on brakes as much as the heavier cars.

Anyway there's supposed to be one or two other new racing animes coming which may be more accurate if that's what you're after. One of them IIRC takes place in Super-Formula.
