Hard Top vs. Convertible?

RE: Hard Top vs. Convertible?
The only problem with verts is if you get serious with your mustang at the track they will require a cage. Other than that, Hauling butt around in a vert with the top down is pretty fun and chicks LOVE verts. The weight difference is negligible.

since only "real racers" like the above vin diesels care about the 200-300lb. difference and the handling difference is almost none, the only reason I see to not get a vert is possibility of leakage and maintenance costs for the top and it's moving parts. I didn't get one because I didn't want to add more maintenance costs to my car. maybe road noise is also an issue, but I dunno for sure.

i dont know about newer verts, but in my friends vert (which i think is like an 88 lebaron, which i dont believe is significant to this), is very cold in the winter. the car doesnt heat up as fast and doesnt hold the heat as well. i dont believe its an issue with his car either, it doesnt leak or anything.

oh, get a vert! theres nothing better than cruising around town on a summer night top down, chrome spinning. Road noise isnt any worse than a loud exhaust system on a coupe. But for strictly track, I would get a coupe. Any other driving, VERT!!
