initial D always made sense to me.
in a feint drift, there's actually 2 drifts involved. the first one (or initial drift) swings the car out to the oposite direction (slides the car to the left for a right hand turn) the second drift, then swings the car into the turn, using the inertia of that first drift to make the car slide even further. In rally terms it's called a Scandinavian Flick.

so it could be in reference to that haha.

here's what it's like

turn goes like this
L
so first you turn the car like this:

/
then you swing the car like this:

\

and the inertia causes the car to change it's direction even faster.
like this one XP
