Convert 5.0 vs. Sedan 5.0
ok well there is a 5.0 that i have seen on my way to my girl friends house that is just sitting there...now i don't know whats wrong with it or anything and when i get some money iwill check it out but i wanted to know would it be better to have a 5.0 convert or sedan..i have the sedan now but its a 4 banger and i'm willing to do an engine swap...i figure i'm going to pull the engine because there has to be something wrong with it anyways...but i mean which would be better...converts are so nice to see...plus it would look awesome with some new **** done to it
Pros' and Con's Please

thats what i was thinking but i mean the convert would be so nice for me and my friend...plus some *** pulls up and tries to race (this being after i do some weight reduction...any i can) i can beat him...i'll keep the 4 banger maybe..who knows...maybe sell both and buy a newer mustang...this all pending on whats going on with the mustang...its hard to drive past one sitting there...just kills the soul

personally I would go with the hardtop vs a vert, never have seen the fascination some people have for verts! noisy, cold in winter, no security as someone can cut the top in a heartbeat and take anything they want out of your car, etc. etc. etc.

LOL...that goes for any car roundman...Unless your car has a state of the art electro shock security system or you have bullet proof windows...your car still can be broken into....LOL...I choose a vert for looks....hard tops just look to plain for my taste..

I'd definately takje the coupe.... i mean i just dont like convertables...i guess if your into looks then take the convertable.. but the mustang looks MUCH more agressive as a hard top, i dunno just my opinion

If you feel strongly about the convertible get it because one day it won't be there and you'll regret it later. I have a 97 GT convertible and a 4 cyclinder 4-door Honda Accord (ugh!). I drive the Honda daily to work and drive the Mustang on weekends.
I have no need to race my car so I don't care if it's heavy or slow. The looks from people when I drive it is all that I need!! Let's just say it's a lot faster and prettier than the Honda!!!
