Good Episode. Introduction of someone new etc etc. The ending left a small cliffhanger if we compare it to the other ones :p

Yeah less of a cliffhanger but I was still on the edge of my seat. Getting more heated now with 3 cars

so why didn't she upgrade her speedometer when she upgraded everything else? I'd think that she'd want to know how much speed all that money had bought her.

curious to see what the Blackbird's response to the GTR passing the Z will be.

Well let's keep in mind she told her mechanic to improve her GT-R so it was his job to improve everything including the Speedometer. I believe either Reina wanted to beat Akio's Z with the original unchanged Speedometer or her mechanic forgot to change it. So far there's the Fairlady Z, Porsche 911, and the Nissan GT-R, we can also count Akio's mechanic who has a white Fairlady Z I believe too.

I like this new girl tbh although her personality can be a bit forceful and hard to make friends with.

This time, it's a 3 way race, it should be good. To be honest this is so much more different from Initial D, which focuses on driving skills, while this focus more on upgrading and speed. I hope I am wrong though.

Dem casual 200km/h. ~.~ I never drive over 100 -.-

A lot of straight roads so far, more a battle of the mechanics than of the drivers.

Reina is awesome, that way she just took the Devil Z when Akio was parked.

Loved watching that montage of them tuning the GT-R. She surpassed the Devil Z!

Nahhhh, that girl straight-up stole Akio's Z like that? Not to mention how she just said that she'll smoke his ass with her GTR the next time? Psssh, how about he throw your ass in jail for joyriding another man's car. Damn.

The black R32 looks gorgeous though, and with 600 hp, uh huh, that's a monster right there, but what is a monster compared to a devil?

The mechanics in this series is earning a bunch of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Not a fan of how they keep hyping up Akio's Z as a supernatural entity rather than the focus being on the driver's abilities and car's specs. Fortunately they showed that Akio has been tuning it up to increase its performance so there's a least some logic as to why it's so fast.

Also yea, the fact that Reina (or her mechanic) kept the stock speedometer was an odd choice lol.
