Hardtop Convertable - What do you recommend?

[Hell Puppy]

I think Dickinbush is ready to unload his SLK hard top convertible. I'm guessing it only has 6000-7000 miles on it knowing him.

NICE!

From day one I was thinking someone should squeeze a LS2 in there.

well, this surprised me but gm came out with a turbo version called the gxp that is not that much more than the regular model... plus its 260hp... if the ecotec is as strong as others have been there should be a good chance of turning the boost up to approach what the ls2 in the mallet is putting down, in terms of hp anyway

Since this thread was bumped and some folks were really concerned about my car choice...Im ditching the idea of a hardtop convert for the time being. I have my eye on a Camero in Charlotte.

Its a pure redneck ride but this one has an interesting pedigree from Canada and its current owner "drives it like he stole it."

the camaros in recent memory were made in a plant in canada... amusing because the comercials for them had a tag line of "from the country that invented rock and roll"
