Is that a conversion, or do they make right hand drive Corvettes down there?? Could be why they are asking so much, not that it justifies it.

Just looked around a little, if I'm reading right they go for $250k+ new without a RHD conversion. Can't believe you guys have to pay that much to get a car, crist!

There is a couple of companies that convert them to RHD in country. It is just ludicrous the price they ask,it's not only the ZR1,but anything from the states.

Well, it's a $120K car that's been configured for right hand drive. It's $40K alone to do that for a standard Vette... Imagine with the dry sump changes and what not what had to be done to make that right hand drive... Maybe not $180K worth of work, but certainly foreseeable to be around $80-90K. The ZR1's only come with the 4LT package, so there's significantly more work involved in the interior as well.

But I'd rather move off the island than pay $180K more for a car. LOL
