I would never buy a VR6 Cabrio, *UNLESS* the modification also involved
putting in a more robust chassis, with five lugs. And at that stage, it
seems to me that you'd be better off buying a convertible BMW, an Audi Cab,
or a Porsche Boxster?

I simply can't understand why anyone would put up with a sub-par chassis in
a Cabrio with a VR6, nor why they would spend the cash to not only do the
VR6 but also then overhaul the chassis-- unless of course, you're a
hobbyist with money and time to burn.
