Yeah you get it. Did you notice that the street car has some components on the wrong side? the race car is still left hand drive.

Did it come from the factory that way or did you have it converted ?

No, no right hand drive C4s The C8 will be the first one I think. The rules here are if its over 30 years old it doesn't need to be converted. But my car was probably imported in about 1990.

When I was in England a few years ago I met a few Corvette owners at a local car show. The hoops they had to jump through to get their cars "approved" were insane.
I will say that driving on the other side of the road was not that weird after the first few miles, but shifting with my left hand did take some getting used to.

Yeah we get our propensity for stupid rules from them I think. I've driven in Europe and the US and would agree it's not that difficult. especially if you are sitting on the right side of the car for the country. Country roads without traffic are where you can get caught.

Man that’s really clean. Pretty rare to see an air box that tidy in original condition. Mine looked like **** before I painted it.

Hoping to see some ZR-1 engine bays pop up shortly.

Yea. I have a guy that'll powdercoat that and the valve covers for me to match the color and I may take him up on that. He's pretty good and has pretty much any color available I could want.. May do that this winter.
