seeing the steering wheel on the opposite side on a camaro is insane.... just doesnt look right...

[Fbody3400]

It makes my left hand feel weird whenever I look at it....

[shenanigans]

whoa that is wierd, I didn't know they were on the other side... I thought they just made foreigners deal with it.

[C.O.Jones]

Yah, but the hood latch is still on the left. Man that sucks...

[pewterfirebird02]

..........haha gm got lazy and decided not to reverse the center console. ebrake is still on the right of it.........i couldn't imagine putting the key in the ignition with the door on teh same side.......thats strange as hell....

Lots of places still make you switch a car over to right hand drive, when its imported. Which if you dig into it.You can get kits for almost any car made new or old.
But its not cheap. But if your importing a car where you need it, ya got cash anyways.

[5SpeedBird]

Though that only a partial conversion. The people with big money do a mirror job. Notice the Ebrake in the way. Try driving a stick like that.

it says in the description its a "conversion". didnt come like that from the factory, which is why the ebrake and stuff is still normal

[T-Punk]

yeah and the foot rest is still on the left. It would suck hardcore to have to deal with the hump from the cat being in the way when you are driving too. I think its stupid as hell to do this conversion on an F-body.

[AlienInv8r]

That does look so weird, it's like it's playing a trick on your eyes.

And yes, that hump being on the driver-side must suck.

In a right hand drive is 1st gear in the same place or is it now like this...

5-3-1
I I I
+-+-+
I I I
R-4-2

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the Germans do it like this:

--1-3-5
+-+-+-+
R-2-4--

Hmmm, interesting. I know that manual Beemers have the Reverse to the front left of where our 1st is. Ist weird.

[mrbako]

the tranny is the same....so it would be the same shift pattern...


i believe bmw is the only ones to put reverse where 1st gear would normally be, but there is no gear below it, and it's actually difficult to shift it into reverse. my ex g/f had to use 2 hands sometimes.
