Well, with majority of the roads having 36 mph limit and with Japanese law obedience, they need only one gear for the car.

limp penis…wrong again. Not only on the Japs being second biggest Ferrari market, but also on the fact that there are no Chevy dealers. If you do some research you will find that there are plenty of Chevy dealers in the JDM

Thats alot of ferraris for switzerland! Such a tiny country but so many wealthy people. To apply for citizenship in switzerland, you must not have a criminal record, be university educated, and have a net worth of at least 1.5 million Euros. My sister tried to move there, she has the education, but not the money. But I don’t see the point of owning a fast car in switzerland. They have the most strict road laws in the world.

Per Capita has to be Monaco, but it’s so small it won’t show up on the radar unless you’re looking at per capita…

Your totally right about that one Fairlight, I bet almost any GT-R or even NSX owner in Japan would give his car and his wife to get his hands on a new Vette, they still have that old feeling of Americanization like they did back in the day.
