American Takeshi Nakazato will drive a C4 Callaway Turbo.

Other good options (depending on when/where it's set):
Taurus SHO
Omni GLHS
Marauder
Neon SRT4
Cobalt SS
XR4Ti (cheating slightly as it's not that American)

I think the American version probably would look a bit more like Wangan Midnight though.

American Shingo?

>>16939023
>where would American initial d take place?
Northern Georgia/Appalachia
>what would be the cars?
Shitbox American cars from the pre-bailout days
>what would American dagumi drive?
Foxbody, probably with a 4.6 Mod in it, that later gets upgraded to a Coyote or something. His buddy Ike gets a foxbody, but his has the 4 cylinder, which he later supercharges.

>would he drive a mustang or a thunderbird?
I feel like I just answered this.

>>16939174
his job is to deliver moonshine up and down the mountain

>>16939167
I imagine American Shingo (Shane?) to have a 3.8l SC of some sort or maybe an Eagle Talon.

There's been a jillion threads about this, I'm sure someone can find one in the archive.

>>16939114
add some more like the grand national, camaro, probe, cyclone, reatta and alero

maybe some jap cars thrown in there

3 major cars dagumi has to go up against

>>16939132
Bunta later on buys a Taurus SHO, or a Cummins Rams. But he's definitely an alcoholic. His drift scene has his cigarette replaced with a bottle of whiskey.

>>16939174
a fox with a 4.6 mod wouldnt make sense i could see him having a 302 then swapping in a 351

>>16939156

Maybe like a Roadmaster or Country Squire body swapped onto a some 80s NASCAR frame. But definitely gotta have room in the back for all the bugershine.

I like it. So what do we rename the rest?

Takeshi (Theodore?) should have an AWD vehicle of some sort. I feel this is necessary.

I kinda think Dagumi should stay Dagumi.

At some point it's gonna feel like we're just writing a prequel to Tokyo Drift.

iketani and nakazato are their last names if you didn't know. it's koichiro iketani and takeshi nakazo. i don't think iketani's given name comes up much but shingo calls him takeshi all the time (which makes the 'we're not friends' thing funnier in japanese)

bro for someone who has seen every episode of Initial D I know surprisingly little about what actually fucking goes on, I still can't tell why the dude with the FC looks completely different every season (or maybe it's the other one, who knows)

>>16939023

This has been discussed before.

Some anon mentioned the Oldsmobile 442 from the '90's.

>>16939328
Feel like that should be Shingo instead because FWD.

If Takumi has a Fox Body Itsuki should have an I4 Mustang II.

>>16939433
But Itsuki had the same platform car as Takumi with a worse engine.

>>16939352
Perfect choice for soundtrack.

>>16939802
It was the first thing that sprang to mind to make a pun with the Grand National's color scheme and that smooth as fuck opening makes for a great replacement for the Bach bit that shows up every time the R32 does.
