Hills? I live in fl... not a prob down here lol

200lbs... and thats like having a fat passenger. Only noticeable on the track i say

I can deffently feel my Titanic Tita, specially up hills.

Get euro bumpers, remove a/c and trow out the rag top, that should bring you within range ;)

I'm currently in the process of possibly selling off my coupe shell and getting a vert and turboing the m20 in it. This thread is making me want a cabrio in addition to my sedan.

I dont see how you guys say verts are slow. Maybe you wer engine is a pos but mine pulls great. weight wise verts are like 150lbs more than a late model is.

-cruising on a summer night with the top down is the best feeling ever

Last time I checked, Im pretty thats sex ;)

i didnt read through, but I have a coupe and vert. They are both way too much fun! I would get get another vert in a heartbeat.

Pros:
-bitches love them
-cruising on a summer night with the top down is the best feeling ever
-you can put big stuff in the back seat
-you can hear the exhaust really well around buildings/cars

Cons:
-some vert specific body parts
-people think that its acceptable to climb over the side and step on your seats to get in the back
-the roof WILL leak at least a little in the front corners
-flexier flier chassis
-slightly slower due to weight (i can notice it)
-wind noise at highway speeds

If you leave your doors unlocked then good luck getting anything from insurance.

How would insurance be the wiser?

No car looks better than an e30 vert top down slammed. Plus the ladies love them... A hardtop is a plus it also keeps noise down. I have had 6 verts and a couple coupes and one sedan for me the only e30 worth having is a vert. I'd snatch it up if it was me. Igee makes matching seat covers that will look real nice. Also look into getting an is airdam. and possibly a rear valance. A strut bar and a mason x bar will stiffen the car up alot.

No pros, just cons.

Pros
best E30 seats
great below 50mph
fresh air, no e30 musty smell.
sexier

Cons:
loud with the top up
rattle like a mofo
worrying where you park bc some idiot my slash your top for fun
slower
must own a closing locking garage.
always leaks in the rain
awful design for speaker
3rd brake light on trunk
no trunk space

Depends on the year, I believe late 89+ are bolt on. And verts get all the ladies, and the hardtop is by far the best thing to buy for them. Soft top=fail(fucking ugly)

Nope, they are still an early chassis car. Mid 1990 they went to late body. I wouldn't buy a vert unless it was a late body.

I don't leave anything of value in my vert. Period lol

They want my stereo? Have ta it, I'll buy a new one, a nicer one, with the insurance money

Just don't leave things in sight for someone to steal.

I drive an e30 convert pretty much daily. Bought mine about a month ago.
Pros
Freakin awesome to drive around when the top is down.
Looks awesome
Easy to load things (kids) in back seat with the top down

Cons
During a HEAVY storm or if i run it through the car wash i get a Lil leaking
More seals to go bad
Wind noise at hwy speeds
Never lock your doors (I'd rather have no stuff and a good roof than no stuff and a ripped roof)

Is it worth the cons? Fuckin-a it is

Just don't leave things in sight for someone to steal.
