Is Takeshi actually the better driver between him and Takumi?

no.
nakazato spun out cause he's a shit driver.
and are you sure he didn't say a car is only as a good as his driver? cause that would make a lot more sense.

I'm trying to find the scene where talks about it, but can't seem to find it. On his wiki page it says:

>He also believed that no matter what skill a driver has, a car will not run beyond its capabilities.

And I wouldn't say he's a shit driver, just that his car failed him during critical moments.

I only know that Takeshi Nakazato is a much more interesting character than Takumi, that's for sure. Shit, even his theme song is fucking awesome.

Is Takeshi the only character in the series with his own theme song?

>>17503350

I think so, the dark and Erie beginning of the theme song coupled the beautiful black car fits the concept of ''Night Kids'' very well. I wish we got to see Nakazato a bit more in the show.

How could you forget about Shingo's COOL VIBRATIONS?

This. People always say
>Dude the 86 was underpowered
But it really wasn't after the new engine.

Anyone else despise team Akuma? They always depend on Takumi for everything and never practice or get good. It's retarded.

>>17503271
it. ain't. real.

Just like your waifu

>Akuma

But yeah, everyone on that team is legitimately bad at street racing and Takumi is the only reason anyone knows who they are.
