Initial D racing on highway

Wangan Midnight is the title and i gots it. Same old case though as in Initial D, old cars pwning new cars with turbos etc. In this anime, the car on show is the first generation of Nissan's Fairlady Z series, S30Z more popularly known in the anime as S-Sani-Maru-Zed-Toh aka Akuma-Zed-Toh (Devil-Z) or simply Zed-Toh. The similarity between the 2 animes are that the main car practically owns all other types of cars on the Wangan Highway.

Though at first this anime appealed to me for its racing theme, its not as attractive as Initial D, to me at least. Its always great to think that old cars can pwn Porches and Ferraris with little effort and leaving them to eat dirt kicked up by the blazing trail of the Zed-Toh. The biggest rivals for the Zed-Toh is namely the Nissan Skyline R32 and a certain tricked out black Porsche 964 Turbo aka Blackbird. Nissan vs Nissan in most cases, makes me wonder if this guy is just too bias towards Nissan cars, though i agree that Skylines are really good and stable cars :p

Street racing is illegal but i did not even see a single police road block since EVERYBODY knows that the races will happen at about 3-4am sometimes until dawn. Police have to set up road blocks because it would be practically nuts to be chasing these guys who claim to be cruising at around 300 kmph. Thanks to Unker Sami, we will never ever reach those speeds.

Most of the time its stories are about guys trying to tune, add turbos and do whatever else to make sure their car can perform well and of course go over 300kmph. Stories about young people spending ALL their money on their cars, neglecting studies and in one case, chase away his pregnant wife JUST to have a chance at beating the Akuma-Zed-Toh. Well i understand those guys who drives newer cars to get their sorry ass pwned by the Zed-Toh, its really ugly to eat the dust of such an antique.

The car is sporty in apperance but if i got a choice, i would very much prefer to drive an AE86 (with the tofu shop advertisement naturally :p).
