    just curious of opinions on the car. i drove in my bosses one today, and holy **** that thing is quick, and its bone stock. sadly he has a hole in exhaust, but he just bought a whole new exhaust setup hes just not gonna swap it out till he gets his new clutch, which after that he gets it tuned. after that the ultimate goal is really just getting a larger turbo cause the stock one is only 44mm i think. his is a soft top, which i'm not a fan, but its got a mean stance, makes a nice noise and is quick. also if the car is stock, even if you drive it like wild you're still getting 35 mpg lol

    I'd take either car. I've always had a soft place for them, but could never see the practicality of a 2-seater for me. As for the soft top: get a hard top for it. Not the best example of the car, or color, but here ya go:

    '13 Stang - V6 MT82 - GHIG
    '00 Grand Prix SE - Pink (L67 Swapped/XP Cam/3.25")
    '98 Grand Prix GTP - Black ($500 toy with broken trans. )
    '01 Bonneville SE - Sitting on a hillside needing attention

    I like it, I've seen it run mid 14's or so at this altitude (5000ft). Too bad they're too expensive around here.

    Love those cars. It's the front end/Pontiac grill that gets me every time.

    The Opel Solstice-Sky. Which one's better? They're all a bit ugly. If I had to choose it'd be the Sky. Least ugly of them all.

    Eh... if it's grinding then the clutch is gone. If shes dropping it, then she's barking the tires or stalling it out. I don't get your description at all.
