I wouldn't want a convertible but if I were you, I would get the old one back. You already have put thousands of dollars of mods into it. Similar mods on the 99 would cost you 4-5k and a lot of headaches.

With what all is done to that 96, I would go that route. To echo the comment above, to do the equivalent mods on a 99 would put your cost of ownership much higher.

umm...96. Hey, what's wrong with verts?

heavier, noiser on the inside and (from my experiance) they leak.

But other than that, nothing....



Seriously, not trying to offend anyone. Verts can be very cool...I'm just not the biggest fan.

lol when I saw the title of this thread I was like WTF this is a real question. Ok I know what everyone has told you thus far but what are the specs of your forged engine? Just because you had on in these doesnt make it a great build/great parts or suited to whatever your current desires may be. Can you provide some more info?
