I'd ditch the convertible for a TII, even a stocker will be noticeably quicker and you might even get change! 
Use your $60 towards getting your vert detailed to make it look nice for prospective buyers.
Sorry to hear about your dad.

i know how you feel.. heres what to do. put on the hold button. put it in first. then when that redlines put it in 2nd. then when that redlines put it in 3rd. then when that redlines take of the hold and let off the gas a little to let it shift to 4th then get back in it and yeah that should help. its also not so bad if you get at about 4000 in N and then with the hold button on drop it to 1st. its simalar to dumping the clutch.
