I think the actual pace car was a convertible. And it got crushed because of the lack of stability and safeness.
No it wasn't, because it was at John's (GP1138) school last year or so...
ooo correct you are! I was thinking wrong, the vert Beretta never went to production because of said issues.
GM really, really dropped the ball on that one, first they announced that the car would in production in 1990, it never was, and furthermore, they halted production on the Cavalier convertible to make room for those.
I don't think that it was the car's weren't safe, but they couldn't make them in a way that economical, aestetically pleasing and without reinforcing every other single thing.
