S4 TII its lighter and can handle more boost. I have smoked three S5 TII and I can say it was probably because of the weight. I have a S5 turbo and manifold and everything is stock except for Bazai Racing T.I.D and intake.

S4 TII is my pick
1. mech. omp
2. lighter
3. no mouse belts
4. i have one
(i love the orange/red original paint)
i also love my (beater) 89 GTU (much lighter). i cant wait to rebuild/streetport the engine. im going to love the high revs...cant do 8000-9000 with the TII.

Verts would have been turbocharged if they wern't 250-300lbs heavier then the coupes. with the extra weight Mazda would have to jack the price because of the gas guzzler tax. at least the verts are the easiest N/A to swap since the suspension and brakes are from the TII edition.
my vote for the Turbo Convertible because I own one.

i can easily say it isn't the best by saying that the S4 TII is better. you're explanation doesn't really tell us anything.
S4 TII is lighter than the S5, that's why I like it more.
