Default convertibles???

im looking to buy a mustang
5.0

nobody seems to be selling any hard tops
alot of convertables tho

thing is are convertables race trach compatable?(i dont think so but i also really dont know)

besides the body flex and being able to be cut in to
if i wanted to slap it on the track(drag or road )think it would be best to just keep my eye out for a hard top

really would like to take it to the track every now and again

convertibles bring more around summer time. A sn95 with a cage I guess would look cool, If you were going to get a vert... Otherwise, get a coupe.

im new here. but i have a convert and i love it! i also have frame rails welded in so its just as much as a solid car than a notch, from what i have felt.

^^^^^you'll need more than subframes to keep that vert from twisting like a pretzel. nowhere near a solid as a notch, trust me I have all three models, hatch, notch and vert
