LOL - you are kidding - right? Everyone knows Left Hand Drive cars are a about .1 to .2 seconds quicker off the line... it's because the inertial lateral placebo effect is negated by the radius offset of the steering wheel - as well as the magneto-resonance of any airbag equipment... of course this only applies to cars with a counter rotating balance shaft that displaces the equilibrial shift of the clockwise rotating crankshaft...

*pffft* - and you consider yourself an auto buff....

lmfao, nice RC45... I woulda said it would be a bit slower because the driver may have been used to right hand drive (affecting his shifting speed). Buy yours seems a lot more technical
