I own a 2006 Mallett Conversion with a LS2 & Tremec 6-speed manual, great fun car, I have over 46K mostly trouble free miles, only breakdown was the original 5-Speed manual trans did hold up to the 400+ HP of the LS2, I was not surprised. Other than that no issues.
Handles great, stops well, surprises alot of people as it looks like a base model 2.4L car. Everything they talk down about the design is true, limited luggage space, but my wife complains about that in our 67 Firebird the top is overly complicated and you can't put it up or down with the touch of 1 button. You actually have to get out of the car to perform either top up or down. But it is overblown IMO. Driving it makes any nit pick items go away. The top is much easier to operate than my old TR3.
The turbo versions are very fun cars to drive, I would recommend them.
