Difference between the anime and manga
In the manga version the drivers appear to be members of Night Kids and their cars are a black Nissan Silvia S13 and a black Toyota MR2 SW20. In the anime the cars are a black Nissan Silvia S13 and a white Nissan 180SX and the drivers are most likely members of Thunder Fire.
 * Ryosuke Takahashi's race is after Takumi Fujiwara raced Impact Blue and Kenta Nakamura on Myogi Downhill. In the manga, Ryosuke's race was first, with the said races following afterwards.
 * In manga Emperor makes it's first appearance during battle between Kenta and Takumi. Emperor is first seen in anime in the first episode of Second stage.
 * Itsuki Takeuchi had a girlfriend named Saori who only appeared in the anime. This would lead up to an accident that would never happen in the manga, inflicted onto Itsuki by Shingo Shoji. The following race would proceed as normal, albeit with the absence of Itsuki.
 * Takeshi Nakazato has a short race on Akina against two street racers, a Silvia S13 white that later Takeshi can easily beat them. In the manga instead is a Honda Intregra in which Nakazato surpasses it instantly.
 * The race between Takumi Fujiwara and Itsuki Takeuchi against three riders who made fun of Itsuki's 85 Levin have different cars.
