the poster could have been wrong
or the right person was driving the car
the convertables have sub frame connectors, maybe it was the extra traction.lol

they come factory with them.
I would figure the convt. would be slower because of weight.
I doubt they gave them more power like they did the 03 Cobra

No they didn't. They have extra bracing in the front end (k member and core support area). Verts are slower bc of weight, no extra power
