hk has the highest millionaire : population ratio in asia.
but China has more millionaires than HK, that's for sure.


who cares if your city has more exotic cars than the rest of the world. Look at dubai,
ferrari there is like civic, when they are everywhere, it's not exotic anymore.

I don't think you can legally export vehicles from the U.S. to PRC due to restrictions in the Mainland on imports of vehicles.

I wonder if the HK exotic cars are kept on the Mainland side because they're LHD and restricted with the T plate use to how much time they can spend in HK.

Thanks for the pix! Hmm weird thing is that the Mustang doesn't have China plate, is it right-hand drive? How did it even get there lol. That engine displacement would cost quite a bit... both in registration fee and in gas haha.

don't think you'll see a Z06 but when I was blasting down Sek O this other day after rewatching initial D live action movie on TV I saw a C4 'vette

I immediately slowed down to a crawl so I can have a better glimpse of it.

The import issue here is that while you can import brand new cars on your own you cannot import anything that's not Euro IV certified which means SOME supercars are out of the question.

Also anything before 2002....BUT you are allowed to import anything over 20 years old much like Canada allowing anything over 15 years old.....so there are fresh off the boat AE86 AW11 240Z rolling around...And they smarten up to have the engine swapped IN JAPAN before driving them in HK....so like 20V AE86 perfectly legal and stuff......

it's supposed to be a trendy thing to drive an old car now. So I drive one too.....j/k I just can't afford anything better.

what is YOUR point? the guy just wants to share some vacationing pictures all of the sudden why you start bitching out of no where? what the fuck do you mean HK is "better" or CHina is "better" that doesnt mean fucking sense. No country trying to complete how many jdm or modified expensive cars here.

go ahead take some pictures of human on donkey stopping for red light.
