right hand drive
Discussion
went to silverstone yesterday to watch he le mans series ,saw a couple of nice corvettes in the supercar paddock... fancy one of those.
there was a nice C6 and Z06.
after all the success they have had racing at le mans etc , you think they would push for sales in the uk,
especially with the gap in the market left by TVR.

I nothing against left hand drive, in fact i spent a year driving a pontiac transport 3.8 v6 se,
great fun, even took it to le mans in 2004. fab time.
then had a lhd mg zt 260, nearly 3 years ownership, which used the mustang engine, again made life intresting, never bored driving the beast, sadly i let it go earlier this year, car went to sweden.

I prefer LHD.
When you pull up at the side of the road you get out onto the pavement. Much better on A roads and motorways.
It's easier to judge passing parked cars as you're closer to them.
A common crash test is the offset driver/driver front on impact. If you're on the LH side you're a lot safer - passenger isn't but them's the breaks.
It's not exactly a mass market in the UK so I'm more than happy with LHD Vettes

europe is left hand drive, but the car doesnt sell in large numbers, i think 5000 was last years total, read that somewhere,car or autoexpress...
with the motorsport heritage that they have and success at le mans , you would think they would be shifting more cars..
all the magazines i have read praise the car ...
price seems competetive
would rhd help sales in the uk ?

If they sold RHD Corvettes here you'd be punishing your wallet quite severely to buy a LHD one. Look what happened to those who bought the Blazer a few years ago.
The Camaro is coming in RHD. Buy one if you can, to encourage GM and others (think Mustang) actually to ship cars over here. The more they sell the better support we will get.
Of course those of us who have LHD cars don't mind at all, and there are well-rehearsed plus points (also in numerous threads on here before!), but it is the single biggest issue for anyone who is not dedicated to the car but might otherwise buy one instead of a Porker or whatever.
