Default What would you prefer??? Why?

Hey guys.

I have a chance to finally get my Cobra. The only thing that is kinda making me wait is that it is a convertible. It is an 04 Cobra and a really good price. I was just curious if you would rather have a coupe or a convert. This will be my first vert, so I wanna know if there is anything I should look for.

If you could list your reason for answering that would be great. I just wanna know if there is anything that I am not gonna like, such as cabin noise, cleaning of the top, etc....etc..

Thanks for the help guys. Oh yeah it is gonna be red, so it will be my first non black vehicle ( besides my winter beater and my motorcycle)

its so hard to choose. I would like my stang to be coupe, but would like my z4 to be a vert , or any smaller car.

I have a coupe, i love it... its lighter and looks good...

BUT, in my opinion the verts...

1. They look better if done right.
2. Make you look like a bad mother ****er when the tops down and everyones staring.
3. ... thats about it [8D]

I love my vert...but I kind of wish it was a coupe sometimes. Coupes just look mean.

But its hard to beat a convertible with a nice interior, a roll bar, and a tonnue cover...

verts are only like 200lbs more weight. i herd that since the top isnt there to support the frame, you can twist it easier n' stuff like that, true?

If you really like the car and it's a good deal I'd go for it. I love my coupe but there are times where I would love a convertible. Converts are not that much heavier than coupes, for '04 Cobras i found a difference of 115lbs which is not that big of a deal. 03 Cobras are on the heavy side anyhow.
