So I'm sitting here watching Initial D (for the first time), and in episode 8 (Time's Almost Up!) at about 12 minutes in you can hear the AE86 downshifting. I'll be damned if it didn't sound exactly like the FR-S. I've never heard an AE86 in person, but can anyone attest to the engine/exhausts sounding similar between the two cars in real life? Because if that's why they made the FR-S exhaust to not sound like the typical Subaru rumble, I'll take it!
