Yes, Jap spec, thats pretty much the only differnce over Euro spec. US spec have a lot of different features to a Euro spec car, different headlights, side lights, they dont have the extra fuel tank etc.

Having the dogleg box is what people really want. The cars on TM that sit are always Jap or US spec, and I think the Euro spec car gets around about a 10K premium (that might not really be that justified).

And then you get cars like the silver one which has a mix of EU/US parts;

Eg. US gearbox, EU bumpers without side repeaters etc.

The Daytona is gorgeous !

Makes current Ferraris look like low brow brutes.

I look at the JP spec M3 as Euro spec minus the dogleg.

Different motor too.
US/Jap is similar to the first EU catalysed motor, 195bhp.
While EU went to a 215bhp cat motor for MY90, US/Jpn stayed with the 195bhp tune.

Standard Euro spec engines 86-89 were 195BHP (with cats), the countries that didnt have cats has 200BHP.

I believe Bruce Lindeman first owned this car. He was the first offical NZ Ferrari importer and was based here in Napier. At the time he also the Manager of the Rothmans factory.

Sour looking women in the Grey Mk5 R32 with the black wheels at McDonnalds drive through green lane last night, wipe the bitch off your face you look horrible. Kind regards, the driver of the Grey Renault you tried cutting in front of who had been waiting 5 minutes before you got there and was ahead of you in line.

These dual drivethru's need some kind of etiquette training, much like the on ramp lights, its not a race, courtesy goes a long way.

1st world problems  :D

That dual drive through annoys me to no end. Just an excuse for rude people to try and cut in line.

So you applied a successful defensive maneuver ?
