So I found a white 96 M6 TA 'vert for a really great price, no wrecks and EXTREMELY low mileage. This will be my daily driver car. I don't see the 'vert as a problem as long as I get subframes right away, and make sure the top doesnt leak before I buy it (obviously). I've always loved 'verts, and especially with an M6 it can't get better than that.

If you guys have a 'vert, please post your experiences with them. Do the tops leak? Are they your daily driver cars? I know there will be a bit more road noise but that won't bother me in the slightest. I have a cover already so I won't worry as *much* about it being broken into. I would really appreciate the help, and you can also feel free to pollute my Inbox with emails of your experiences or those of your friends with 'verts. I really appreciate all the help, thanks!

Scott

SFCs and a STC help a lot, but the car does feel looser and slightly noiser than a hardtop. My top has been fine except for one spot where is a 1/2" tear due a to a flatbed tow-truck driving under a tree with low branches. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I love going top down, so if the car feels solid on the test drive and the top doesn't leak, buy it!

My dad has a vert camaro, and we have had ZERO problems with it. Granted its a bit more of a rolley polley than a hardtop, but a mod or two can fix that up

 

Had a 91 RS vert for nine years before getting the 01 SS vert. No problems with either one. Just take care of the weather stripping around the top. If you have the fabric top get some of the RAGGTOPP™ Protectant from Haartz. They make the tops for our cars and many others. http://www.haartz.com/Consumer_Info/..._Main_Page.htm

The SFCs and STB will make a difference in the rigidity of the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
