Default japanese 'stangs ?

is it true that the mustangs which are sold in japan (94-00's) are different that the american? in parts etc... cause one guy told me that the ones in japan , you can only find parts for it in japan , i found that pretty weird cause its supposed to be the same engine...

a lot of cars over in japan and other countrys are different from american cars, such as the nissan 240sx they have compelely different engines that are much better, they are better for turbo and ****. also VWs are different. i don't know about mustangs though.

well see, the thing is, nissan's ARE japanese. we got the lesser version of the 240's and supra's, and rx-7's, and all those other nice fast imports. so, they probably got a lesser version of our cars this time. TAKE THAT JAPAN

Doubtful... normally we get the watered down versions of everthing... Go look at the Ford Europe or Australia website, and see all the cool horsepower they get over there...
