OK, I'm buying an '03 or '04 cobra very soon and I am not sure to go with a coupe or convertable. What do you guys think is better looking? I know the vert is about 150 lbs or more heavier but does anyone know if you can tell at all when youre driving if that makes a difference??
SO -what looks better in your oppinion and does the vert differ at all in driving from the coupe??

 

coupe. looks better and is faster too

 

coupe-hands down

 

All my life I wanted a Vert. I bought one and I was happy.... Now I want a Hard top for racing. A vert is the sexy thing that can happen to a mustang when done right!

 

Vert FTMFW! 150lbs is peanuts speedwise when you have a car like a cobra! For that .1 in the 1/4 you might lose by having that added weight, you'll more than make up with the fun factor, and with the chick factor.

Sure you shouldn't need a vert to pick up a chick, but the majority of girls I know go ga ga for verts.....especially if they're musclecars!

It all comes down to choice though. If you're going to be an all out racer, and do Auto X & 1/4 mile runs every weekend, then a coupe might be better for you. Not only is it a teeny bit faster, but it has much more structural integrity being a coupe.

If you plan on being just an avid racer (every once in a while at the track) I'd go with a vert without a second thought.

Man I'm so jealous! I keep looking at Cobra verts, and want one so bad! They are much more rare than the coupes. God I'll envy you, if you buy that car!

 

please dont buy a vert.....theyre so hideous

coupe is the only way to go...on ANY car

i wish stangs came with T-Tops or Targa tops

 

i love my vert, its a 115lb difference by the way, there nothing like hauling *** with the top down

 

DAMN now I'm EVEN MORE tourn between getting a vert or a coupe. I don't knooooww maaannn. I think I'm gonna go with the vert for now just for the fun factor bcause I'm not gonna be taking it to the track any time soon.
Oh and I saw a targa top for sale on ebay. It looked really good but the guy that posted it said the body shop didnt do a good job on the convertion and it would leak in the rain.

 

with the top up it feels like a coupe inside, just get some subframe connectors if you want it to be stiff as a coupe, i have friends that have ridden in both my car and my friends coupe and they all want verts now lol

 

I like my vert but with exhaust and all there's alot of interior noise
