Less Than Two Days From ACT.3 & 4
---------- WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILER, NAVIGATE AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE SPOILERS ----------
From the preview images released by Animax, it seems like we will see a Toyota MR-S going up against
... Takumi's AE86. You guessed it, it's Takumi's old rival Kai Kogashiwa. He has changed his car from the MR2 to this MR-S S-Edition. The MR-S is much lighter than the MR2, in fact it's 400 lbs lighter to be precise. Its weight is about the same as the AE86. Weight distribution wise, the MR-S is closer to the ideal 50:50 than the AE86, which has a 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution.
The added GT wing on the MR-S will make it corner even faster and more stable. This is going to be a tough battle with an opponent like Kai. It reminds me of those battles between Bunta and Ken.
Fifth Stage ACT 3 & 4 will broadcast in about 36 hours as of this posting. In this pair of episodes, Takumi will face two tough opponents in Kanagawa, the holy land of street racing. Will he beat both of them? Find out by following our forums on https://idforums.net/ as the RAW will hit the forums as soon as they become available. See you there!
