[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1174139, member: 2758"] The problems of actually owning an American muscle car in Malaysia is endless. 1) Left hand drive (astutely pointed out). 2) As big and as wide as Texas. Suicide is more fun than parking it. And the roads here are too narrow. You'd lose your wing mirrors and scrape all the paint off the sides. 3) Drinks petrol for fun. Probably needs a litre to crank it up. 4) Scare the bloody hell out of your neighbours (maybe that's a good thing). 5) You're gonna have to fix it yourself 'cos nobody knows how to. But actually there are some heartening points; 1) There are people in Britain that does RHD conversions. Prodrive for example. 2) It is probably still not as wide as a Lamborghini and its got better road clearance. And if Lambo owners can get away with it, you can too. 3) The engine is so torquey that you can drive around in 5th gear all the time. No downshifts necessary except when you want to show some import boys who is the boss. 4) Scare the bloody hell out of just about anybody. 5) Usually very very simple machines with not much electronic rubbish. The engines are also super simple. No complicated valve mechanisms. You could probably fix it yourself with not much issues. And if you do fuck it up and it explodes, just get a new one. One American V8 probably costs less than spare parts for Lamborghinis. [/QUOTE]
