Lets just think about this for a minute.

It's asking price is more than Will Neely sold his 733 rwhp Mk3 for.

It's RHD. RHD is ok for track use, but driving RHD in a LHD country is silly. You cannot see past oncoming traffic for left hand turns, and mistakes made turning left are fatal far more often than they are on LHD cars, and always include at least serious injuries. (Makes sense, all there is between you and the bumper from the oncoming vehicle is 4 inches of door, instead of half a car.) This inflates insurance rates for everyone.

Headlights need to be swapped out for proper ones to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Buying replacement parts is fun - welcome to waiting for shipping from Japan for some of the silliest bits.

I never understood why anyone would want a RHD drive car. But on topic, I dont care for that car, even if it were LHD.

Wouldn't pay 15 grand for it, though.

rhd is silly and poitnless, but then 800hp for a street car is also, its more fun than practical

edit: i realize there are few 800hp street cars, but same for rhd

And yeah, it's a little overpriced.
