I have the itch for a convertible since I'm driving my TT less than I thought I would. I'm looking for some suggestions on a convertible that is under $60K, quick, good handling for the occasional autocross and HPDE (maybe 1-2/year at most), and relatively exclusive. I'll probably start looking hard come January, but I want to narrow my choices down so I am not all over the map like I am now.

First on my list seems to be the 996TT convertible. It has everything I am looking for but since i currently have a coupe, i'd like to try something different.

M3 convertible - awesome car, but a little too boring and I don't like the looks of the folding hard top

S4 - Love the looks and the softop, but it is too heavy and just too slow

Aston Martin Vantage - would love this option, but is out of the price range for now. Maybe in a year or so? What do you think?

BMW M6 - once again, has everything I want, but the rear end just doesn't do it for me!

SL55 - Might be too much of a luxo cruiser? I've never driven one and they seem to be on every corner (SL's in general)

If anyone has a half price Gallardo, i'd be all over that!!!

Any other suggestions on where to look??

Thanks in advance

 

You are spot on. The only thing I would consider besides the 996TT for what you are using the vehicle for is the Vantage (when price drops) The M and SL are not going to give you the handling you desire.

 

Go for the Lambo...i like those cars

 

Sounds good, i'll buy the left side and you can buy the right side? Car stays in NY though

 

Ok let's do it
