So instead of weighing 5000lbs, it comes in at a sprightly 5500

I do like that car, so don't get me wrong, but I thought this was pretty funny from that guy's site:

"The engine is stock except for a K&N air filter and the TWIN TURBO spark plug cover which, to the best of my knowledge, adds no horsepower but looks nice."

Ha ha ha ha

went from around $30k in 1991 upto around $45k by 1999. I dont think you can get a AWD TT V6 for any cheaper, during the time. Considering the TT 300 was starting at like $35k in 91, its a bargain.

The only car that's ever scared me is my buddy's 500whp VR4 (that is being redone for more than that).

But goddamn, they weigh a TON.

Can't believe Spyders actually still go for that much cash. I've seen a video of the top going down before, it took like ten minutes (or at least 30 seconds, which is retarded).

the 45k price tag was for a bare-bottom vr-4 hardtop. Not the convertible. The convertible was much more expensive.

Also 3kgt is nto a dsm pete, but yes, it is one of the first hardtop convertibles aside from the fairlane? Or whatever that car was.

Ah, sorry. I thought all Mitsu's were considered DSM's. That's why I'm a Ford guy I guess ;-).

Just to enlighten, there are a few old cars had retractable hardtops (more may exist):

# Ford Fairlane Skyliner (1957-1959)
# Gaylord (1956)
# Lincoln Continental 1967
# Ford Thunderbird (1958-1960)

Some of the old T-birds had radios that increase volume with speed too.

Enough Hikjacking, cool cars. I think you need a gullwing.
