We sure do take the Mustang for granted here. I couldn't imagine paying that much for any car. But your living life the way your supposed to, by enjoying!

Still, those prices are huge. A new GT Premium goes for ~50k EURO in Europe after shipping and tax, which is the equivalent of 67k US$.

wouldn't it make more sense to buy the car in the US and ship it over?
heck you can ship it by air cargo and still get it for half as much!!

i paid $37,000 USD for my GT Coupe (Premium fully loaded) here in Dubai and thought that was a rip off :S

It would actually work out to be dearer to personally import and convert myself [about 3-4 k more], the majority of the money is tax and conversion which i would have to pay myself anyway.

Are the pedals reversed on a right-hand drive? Do you clutch with the left foot or is it right down under? And while I'm at it, which way does the water swirl when you flush the toilet??

Looks like this was a must to fit the steering column. Wow, a lot of work went into this conversion! Too bad you have to reach allllll the way over to crank up the volume on the radio.

Ok willie the accelerator is on the right the brake in the middle and the clutch if you have one is on the left.As for the swirl of the toilet flush i don't really hang arround long enough to see.
