LS1 Question, for those of you in Japan!

[SimpleS14]

Was the C5 even offered in RHD configuration? (just wondering) Isn't there a tariff or some fee tacked onto driving a LHD in Japan?

Anywho.....I think such a swap is very unlikely to happen in Japan.

there is a C5 that shows up at a local "meeting" place here, he has never run anyone though, he knows he would get his ass handed to him. The cars all want to run him, and the ones that do are amazing. RB27/28/30 S13's and shit. Not to mention the Verossa that is one of the fastest cars I have seen here, even with 4 fat Okinawans in it while racing.

no US cars in Japan are RHD. At least all the ones that I have seen.

Wow, I didn't know the price for legalizing a car in Japan was ridicously expensive! $30,000 U.S.

Hahaha! I can see it now:

"aye yo man, I got a JDM Mustang"

You gotta take a picture of one! I wonder if they spruce up the engine for Japan?

[drew935]

yeah that's right it's $3000 not $300k...oops hehe.

I was thinking of the US cars that they import not the ones that are sell there at the dealerships . I've seen impala lowriders there, also the vettes that were posted on here. All were LHD...
