Thinking about ordering a GT with sport package:  6 speed manual, 3.9l
V6, 18" tires etc.  Not sure about radio.  Can't find out if speakers
are the same with the Sun Sound package instead of stock system.
Original system is single cd and monsoon speakers - package includes 6
cd changer. Also a difference with the systems equalizer.

Any issues I should be concerned about?

Just a few general observations.

1:  If most of your driving is heavy stop/go communter type, consider
how much gear rowing you'll do with the 6 speed/automatic.  A few miles
a day is OK, but long hauls at 5 MPH takes skills to not wear out your
left foot.

2: CD changeer is the way to go just to keep the inside neat.  An
interface port for an IPOD/MPG Player gives you an option as well.

3:  Look into the cost of an after market system vs. OEM.  Optional OEM
sound systems is a large mark-up item.  Monsoon is a good way to go if
your considering a convertable.

4:  If not going for a convertible, consider a sun roof.

Post back with an update when you get the G6 home.

OK, now have about 350 miles on my 6spd. GT.  Mileage about 19.5
Shifter is a bit "notchy"  but shorter throw than my previous (1998 GT 4
cyl. 5 speed. - and that car was a bit hard to find!)  Car is
confortable to sit in, physically, I had more interior storage in the
'98, and trunk is smaller (especially the opening), arm rest was better
positioned, better interior lighting (foot wells, 2 reading lights due
to sun roof, steering seemed a bit lighter).   Miss my radio/cd which
had a 5 band equalizer, but the monsoon cd changer not bad.  Of course,
major difference w/6cyl over the 4.   Oh well, progress...

There's a "sport package" which also adds the above as well as stability
control and rear spoiler.

Does that package also come with the convertible?...if so I may take another
look.

Yes it does. I have it in My vert G6. I did not order the stick shift though
because the wife would trash the clutch

The website says the convertible only comes with the 4 spd auto trans.

I would wait and get one with the 3.6 eng. Smaller yet more performance.
