I'm partial to coupes in general. That being said, during the summer a cab. is pretty hard to beat-- it's not like performance it "lacks" from the coupe is noticeable on back roads-- can't even touch the limits.

Just because... (pics by K04)

If you have a Turbo, you will need to let the engine idle for 2-3 minutes anyway. My top operates in 30 seconds.

You're kidding right? This has been covered extensively if you search, but to repeat....your turbos get very hot very quick. They are cooled with the oil moving through the system. When you shut the car down the oil STOPS and the cooling stops. The turbos just sit there and bake the residual fluids and seals. This will cause premature failure of the turbos (ask Kevin). Let them cool with an idle for 60-120 seconds.

Oh and for the cab get a SmartTop and the roof is up before you have stopped.
