F-body with steering wheel on the opposite side

**apache** · 09-29-2006, 09:17 AM

If you lived in Britain and had a Firebird or Camaro with steering wheel on the RIGHT side of the car, would that really screw you up? I don't know about you guys, but it would mess me up big time. Theoretically it shouldn't, but just thinking about it makes me feel strange. Something about any car with steering on the right side, make me look at it less seriously for some odd reason. I hate cars like that! Yuck.

I've driven right hand drive cars before. It's not a big deal after you get used to it. Even driving a manual isn't hard, unless you're driving and shifting fast, then it takes a little more concentration.

All the ricers here in Canada order Japan cars (Skylines, Mr2's, Even 4x4 Toy's) and drive them as dd'd full time.

If these kids can learn to shift with their left hand anyone can.

I lived in Japan for three years and they drive on the "wrong" side of the road too. It takes a few days or so to get used to. I had a car with a manual transmission and it didn't take any time at all to get used to shifting with my left hand. The transition back to stateside driving can be a little scarey, esp when you turn into the wrong lane or drive on the wrong side for that split second. No big deal overall...

On a right had side car, are the clutch/brake/gas pedals still in the same order or are they different?

**Y2KBird** · 09-29-2006, 11:06 PM

I'd trade my car for James Bonds Aston Martin....Some right side driver cars are friggin awesome

I seen couple of 4th gens, but cant find them now.

**JonB** · 10-01-2006, 05:46 PM

So why does everyone else drive on the other side of the road? or should it be why do we drive on the wrong side of the road?

No seriously ... supposedly Japan also has a big following for the 4th gen crowd. I do recall seeing some where right hand drive, hence where the export tasilights came from for the amber/red taillights.
