I had a convertible Mustang before and hated it. The wind noise was awful and it leaked every time it rained. Get a coupe, that is my opinion.

maybe both?! what i mean is i saw an ad in the back of mm&ff showing a removable hard tp. its a little pricy but it maybe the best of both worlds. its very much like a trans-am

The Vert is only going to be a little bit slower. It ways 175lbs more than the coupe. Of course it is not quite as aerodynamic so it will probably be about 2 or 3 tenths slower than the coupe.

When I see 2 dudes in a vert I think homo.
Me too. I like hard tops better.

Gawd alot of ragtop haters up in dis forum

As far as 2005 ragtop vs coupe... go with the coupe. The ragtop is hideous on the new stang (no offense to those who like it, just not my cup of tea). The coupe looks much better for 05 than the ragtop 05.

But if we're talking 99-04, no way would I pick coupe. Havin a ragtop is great fun...and I live in Michigan lol. Someone said somethin about girls have verts more than men? Well girls dig teh vert more than teh coupe, at least in my experiences [8D] so works out well for me. I don't think its too noisy, granted I'm not on the highway much...if ever. But when I am, its normal driving to me, I can listen to my sweet exhaust, or turn up the music, either way I don't get the whole verts are too loud thing [&:]. I think verts look fine when the top is up, not really biased one way or the other, its not sexah, but its not ugly either. When the top is down, it looks better than any couple will.

Conclusion: Verts are really sweet IMO, and some of these assumptions I find to be untrue. But since your going with a 05, DO NOT get the vert, stick with the coupe

Man, a hardtop convert is hella better then a softop. I would never get a softop vert for the main reason its ugly, and someone can easily cut into it. Unless i've been living in a cave for the past 10 years, are you saying you can get the 05 GT in HARDTOP OPTION?! Oh man , say it ain't so!

Even though it would really slow down the gt to like 6.1 seconds, I'd love a power hardtop option
