But you'd only want it with the GT Pack and that tips it over 30K, I'm keeping my 147 for the forseeable with a look to get one of the new 350z in a year or so when, they tend to lose about 10K in depreciation in the first year unfortunately and there's no way I'm throwing that money down the bog

I tend to think the only drop tops that perform as they should are ones that were designed as a drop top in the first place.
