"While the Fujiwara Tofu Trueno emerges victorious over Kai and his MR 2, Natalie has only one thing on her mind--getting Tak back. She knows that Tak feels betrayed, so she tries her best to encourage him to warm up to her again. When Miki attempts to rekindle things with Natalie, Tak steps up to protect her dignity. But all's fair in love and racing, and, of course, Miki won't go down without a battle: Toyota Celica vs. the Toyota Trueno. Whoever comes out on top will get the girl!"
