Are you asking about TII vs NA?

Both are great models. TII has the most power potential and the covertible makes a great dialy & TII conversion project car.

Get a TII. For god's sake don't buy a n/a. I'm stuck with my n/a even though I love it to death. The reason for getting a TII is because it has a stronger tranny, and rear end. This means you can get a hell of a lot more horsepower out of the engine without the chance of blowing your tranny. With a n/a I think the max safe horsepower is around 190-210hp. ( could be wroing though) . With a TII you atleast have a solid base to start with. This is all of course if you want speed.

If you want a reliable daily driver then sure a n/a is fine. But take it from me, Speed equals TII, unless you have about $15,000 to blow on a n/a to turn it into a TII.

If heard across the board that TII's are on average good for 100,00km, while n/a's are on average good for about 150,00km before either the motor or turbo's go. Mind you that it's just an average. It highly depends on the previous owners driving and maintanence.
Choice is yours. Slater

The convertible isn't just ANY old NA. I started with a TII and even though I love the raw torque & HP, the convertible is a better daily driver.

I consider both models equal in overall fun factor.
