Even with the grand daddy of anime series -- MS Gundam -- new stuff keeps coming out, even if the idea of Gundams is re-hased over, and over, and over again. And even if they were to re-visit some of the older timelines, producers there still do variations and modifications meaningful enough to differentiate the new series from the old series. So in Initial D's case, wouldn't it make more sense if the current GT86 races against some of the current counterparts -- RX8, R35, NC Miata, FD2, S2k, Evo X, GE / GP Impreza etc.?

There was a 350Z in the intro 
But yeah, I get what you mean. Maybe, Initial D may make that shrinking audience grow?
