just to add to the flames: God forbid..., but in case of a rollover accident... the coupe has waybetter protection for keeping the occupants alive...[X(]

The extra mass associated with convertiblization ordinarily shows up as a debit in the acceleration column, but that wasn't the case here. Even though our droptop tester had only 300-plus miles on the odo when it went to the test track, at 5.0 seconds to 60 mph, it was quicker than either of the coupes we've tested, which ran 5.2 seconds and 5.1, respectively. The convertible also turned in the best quarter-mile time—13.7 seconds at 103 mph. That's just a 10th quicker than the coupes, and trap speeds were essentially the same, but it does indicate that the 4.6-liter SOHC 24-valve aluminum V-8 doesn't mind a little extra mass

 

im with ya with the coupe, its more muscle car and less...well...girly (?) i mean the coupe handles better stock and the lines are a lot cleaner, if you want a convertible why not just get a camry convertible? better gas mileage and it would look just about as muscular as a mustang convertible...sorry but coupe is just the way to go

 

You're saying a Camry convertible looks as muscular as a Mustang... really?




compared to:

 

yea honestly i think it does almost look as muscular as a mustang convertible, especially a v6 convertible...its a chick car all the way

 

You have no idea what you are talking about. This ain't no Camry! [sm=chairshot.gif]

 

yea that does look really sharp, but i still think if it was a coupe it would look a lot better...but thats just my opinion

 

Ill put my vert against that black coupe of yours anytime. As far as looks go: If both of our cars are stopped at a light who do you think has a more muscle-car looking Mustang? I got news for you - it wont be you....

 

Serious OWNAGE there! Nicely done. On behalf of all vert owners, I thank you. The vert is just as good as the coupe, as the C/D article linked in this thread proves. And in my opinion the formal look when the the vert is buttoned up is better than the coupe.

 

If the Mustang didn't come with a rag top, I wouldn't be a Mustang owner. We've looked at just about all other convertibles on the market, from Volvo to Nissan and chose the Stang. To make sure that it was what we really wanted, we rented a V6 vert forthe weekend. A couple of months later, we bought the GT.

As far as the vert being a 'girly' car and white to boot, maybe I should paint some f%$#*ing rainbows on it too... LOL. Hey, I hear it from my coworkers all the time, those who drive 10 year old Accords and K-cars.
