True story...
I won't lie, My wife wanted a BMW convertible for years!! We have both worked for BMW since 1985, but everytime we would get a raise, BMW would introduced a new convertible, usually at a 10K premium over the old model...
I decided to sway my wife to a Mustang, and we were on the fence, until one day...
We were driving to the mall, on the freeway, and in the fast lane, a Legend Lime GT coupe roared by, at around 90MPH, with a Mitsubishi Eclipse turbo, following behind...it was obvious that they were racing, and as I watched, it appeared to me that the Eclipse was suddenly driving through dust, or something...smoke suddenly surrounded the car...
A few miles later, we saw the Eclipse on the side of the road, stopped, hood up, the little Mitsubishi, big exhaust, turbo, etc, had blown up trying to keep up with the Mustang GT!!
We now drive a legend Lime GT convertable, auto, with the 18-inch wheels!!

RE: True story...
Thanks to all!!
Although innovative, the rice-rockets are starting to lose thier edge, and hurry-up HP techniques (i.e. more boost!) just can't compete with a well engineered automobile, but I may be biased!!
