yes but its not a direct conversion what we have down here is a shit load more government taxes on cars that kack up the price CONSIDERABLY so you can never do a straight money conversion. go try it with the 370z i think base here is something like $72,000 dont know about over there but yea do it and you'll see how much more we get taxed
