Re: If you were picking a convertible...

3000GT VR4 Spdyer

3.0L Twin Turbo
Retractable Hardtop
AWD
Way under your price
Unreliable
Heavy as hell
Poor balance

Not a bad deal!


Seriously though, it seems like you have a lot of nice choices to pick from. I would just go and test drive each one in a short span of time and decide what is the most fun. It isn't your DD, so is reliability/etc. that important? Of course you don't want to be constantly fixing it, but I think as long as you don't completely abuse a car (there is a difference between abuse and driving hard ) and you do maintenance they'll hold together.

Good luck and let us know what you go with!

Haha ya. There not too terrible though. I go to car shows and see these old muscle cars and I'm just in awe of how much room there is. You can pull the plugs without taking anything else off! LOL

Re: If you were picking a convertible...

I third the corvette but im biased, its a bigger car than what your looking at, but it'll hold its own in the corners with what your looking for, and out accelerate everything else.

But test drive, and pick the car with the least compromises that way you wont have to spend alot on aftermarket mods (which will be inevitable)
