    Why do you care about other peoples opinion on what type of driver you are capable of? As long as you drive responsibly and dont act like an idiot on the road, no one will judge you on what ride you have

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    RHD is ok but a 300HP car like that with little driving experience isn't gonna be too good.

    Why limit yourself to these two cars?

    Well I would say do it, shouldn't be a problem. My first car was RHD.

    However judging by your username you are some fanboy who has no business owning a JDM car, especially as a first vehicle.

    Get something slower, cheaper, and LHD until you get more experience under your belt.

    RHD isn't appropriate for a 1st car, or otherwise.

    Seriously dude - too much power, too much insurance, and too difficult to pass without risking your life. Go with the Trans Am; they were underpowered in those years anyway.

    Risking your life, wow I must be living on the edge and didn't even know it. Could your opinion be based on the fact that your 300ZX is not valuable anymore ??? Give your head a shake pal
