"You're no match for that 86!”Facing Takahashi Keisuke's challenge, Iketani said calmly. These were his heartfelt words. Although Takahashi Keisuke was very talented, he was still not mature enough.
"We haven't even had a formal competition yet. How do you know that I will definitely lose? " There's no reason for my FC to…" Takahashi Keisuke said angrily. He wanted to say that there was no reason for the FC to lose to a broken 86, but when he thought about Iketani's S13, he swallowed his words to avoid embarrassing himself.
"Are you trying to say that there's no reason for my SPD to lose to a ten-year-old classic car?？”What Takahashi Keisuke did not say, Iketani spoke on his behalf, and in a mocking tone.
"You!" Takahashi Keisuke gritted his teeth and looked at Iketani, but he was powerless to refute.
"If you insist on challenging that 86, I can help you pass the message. However, it's hard to say if he will agree. After all, he's not a member of our SpeedStars!”Iketani changed his tone. If he didn't tell Takahashi Keisuke, he would definitely keep coming. She was pestering him.
"Regardless of whether he's from SpeedStars or not, you just need to tell that guy that I'll be waiting for him in Mount Haruna at 10 PM next Saturday! I hope he doesn't disappoint me!" Takahashi Keisuke said coldly. He opened the door of the SUV and got in, driving out of the gas station.
"Senior Iketani, is what Takahashi Kaisuke said true? Do we have such a powerful 86 here? I've never heard of it.”After Takahashi Keisuke left, Ah Shu immediately leaned over and asked anxiously.
"Of course it's true. As far as I know, the fastest car downhill on Mount Haruna is still that 86!”Iketani said calmly. He ignored the dumbstruck Ah Shu and went back to work.
No matter how much Ah Shu asked, Iketani refused to reveal more about the 86, which made Ah Shu so depressed that he stomped his feet. At the same time, even Tuo Hai looked absent-minded when he was working. No one knew what he was thinking.
During lunch break, Iketani drove his S13 to the parts factory and told him everything he needed to improve.
"I heard that you're going to compete with GTL in Mount Haruna this Saturday, aren't you?”The parts factory owner took a puff of his cigarette and said.
"Although GTL is very strong, as long as you master his weaknesses, you will be able to defeat him in the downhill race!”Iketani said confidently.
"Tell me." The parts factory owner looked at Iketani with interest. This young man was a little special. He had a special temperament that his peers did not have.
"Although the GTL is known as a national treasure sports car, the weight of the body is extremely uneven. It's top-heavy and light-footed. Most of the weight is placed on the front part of the car, especially in the continuous corners in the second half of Mount Haruna. The GTL needs to constantly push the head into the corners, which consumes too much energy on the front wheels. It's easy to cause the car to understeer! This was his greatest weakness! To be honest, this kind of car was more suitable for uphill racing!”Iketani caressed the body of the S13 as he spoke.
GTL was fast, but no matter how fast a car was, it was useless if it couldn't maintain its balance. Going downhill was much more interesting than going uphill.
"That's why you have to change the S13 to slick tires to enhance the grip, so that you can seize the opportunity to overtake in the second half of the GTL when the steering is insufficient.”The parts factory owner took a puff of his cigarette and said.
Iketani shook his head." This is the most ideal plan. However, there will definitely be some slight deviation in a real race. If there is a chance, the earlier you overtake, the better!"”
Iketani wasn't the type of person who would feel pressured by a car chasing behind him. He could completely ignore the existence of the other party and run the race as fast as he could. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with him rushing in front. On the contrary, it was more suitable for him.
However, the performance of the S13 meant that he could only catch up to the GTL in the first half of the car. This was indeed very helpless. Although there were major shortcomings, Nakari's modified GTL with 380 horsepower was not a joke. If he was left too far behind in the beginning, he would not have the chance to overtake in the later stages.
Since he had left the S13 at the parts factory for adjustments, Iketani had to take the bus back by himself.
As soon as Iketani returned to the gas station, he was completely attracted by a big red GTL 32! Her eye-catching appearance almost made the passersby turn their heads.
"No way!" Iketani smiled bitterly when he saw the car. He quickened his pace and walked over. Sure enough, he saw Kudo Yukiko talking to Ah Shu and Takumi.
"Chi Gu!" Noticing Iketani's return, Arisu Kiko waved her hand and greeted him warmly.
"Akiko, why are you here? You really bought a GTL!？”Iketani said with a bitter smile as he looked at the extremely eye-catching GTL.
"I came here to treat you to a meal and tell you that I've already gotten the car. I didn't expect you to be gone. By the way, where's your S13?”Arisu asked.
"Sent it to be modified for Saturday night's game.”Iketani said.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Get in the car!”Yukiko nodded and pointed at the car.
"Go, Iketani. It's okay if you come back later. Ah Shu and Tuo Hai are here.”The owner of the gas station said with a smile, his face full of envy. He even secretly gave Iketani a thumbs up.
It was as if he was saying that he was not simple to be able to get such a beautiful girl.
Iketani smiled awkwardly and got into Akiko's car. Under Ah Shu's envious and jealous gaze, they slowly left the gas station.
