Might be better off trying to get a 04 GT models as they come with Stage 1 fuel injectors. Installing Stage 1 will only be a 10 to 20 minute process. A 03 Model, you have to change fuel injectors and that can be a real pain to disconnect all the stuff and stick them back on.
The incetives are HUGE right now for Chrysler and you can get a 04 GT 5 Speed model around the low 20k range.
The fastest time I've seen for an 04 5-Speed manual GT with Stage 1 and race pipes was from 3BarBoost at 14.5 secs.
Car and Driver rates the 05 PT GT Convertibles 5-Speed 1/4 mile at 15.4 secs. Considering that the Verts are 200 lbs heavier than the 04 5-Speed GT's, you can expect roughly 15.2 sec 1/4 miles at factory settings and a full tank of gas.
