For a terminator, the coupe is considerably faster around a track, different spring rates, weight difference...
In general coupes look better all around, while verts look better with the top down... if the cobras had a hardtop convertible option, I'd be all over that.

man there can be a fight over this all day and night on which one is better, bottom line get whatever u prefer, weigh out the pros and cons and make ur decision based on that. to answer ur questions regarding problems and upkeep on verts. Compared to my coupe i hear no extra cab noise, just a little from the windows when they are not all the way up, in general its quiet. I also put nothing on the top so its no maintence on that and I have no problem with it whatsoever beside it takes a while for it to heat up the cabin in the winter. no biggy

"verts are way too heavy" [sm=icon_rofl.gif] [sm=icon_rofl.gif] yeah that <200 lbs can be a real boat anchor. The performance diff between an auto-vs-standard has a WAY bigger impact on performance, yet a LOT of coupe guys drive autos.. go figure 
"verts are easier to break into"
Ok, so U coupe guys get to deal with busted glass instead of a ripped top lol

first of all i dont really like the look of convertables....second its harder to keep the convertable top maintnenced especially in the AZ heat...third it adds weight for the convert top...umm you have so have different suspension parts i think (maybe just springs)...umm easier to steal...WHAT IF IT RAINT IN UR CAR (even though most people would be smart enough to put the top back up before it rains...well that my .02 cents worth...COUPE FTW
