RE: V top
Yes I know targa tops don't have the center bar..
Mustangs never came with targa tops, but back when T tops were available there were a few companies that sold aftermarket conversion kits to add T tops to your hardtop car.
You CAN'T eliminate the whole roof piece from a hardtop Mustang, you'll soffer lots of frame flex if you did. Convertible Mustangs have added structure to the chassis to control this flex, that's why they are heavier than hardtop cars.

RE: V top
Wow. At the Ford Nationals there was 2 companies who offered Targa conversions... with NO... ..that's right.... no CENTER BAR. And and there was an 05 there built by MRT that had a glass roof. 
And when you get done trying to prove me wrong go here: http://www.mustangtuning.com/targamustang.html and read real close. Heck... even look at the picture.

RE: V top
Yes I know what a t top is. But I knew it wasn't called a "t" top.
This is what I was looking for.
I knew there were T top options in the past. I have seen pictures of stangs with that.
I saw pics of stangs like this. But they were few and far between. The reason I want to do this is so I would have a car that set itself apart from almost everyone elses.
I just asked a friend about it showed him that supra pic, cause I knew it looked a lot like that. Then he said "looks like an upsidedown V." Then bingo I came up with the insane name of V top.
Also why would they create somethiing so unsafe and not be sued in a matter of months. These aren't a "new" idea, they have been around long enough to have been tested to where they are pretty safe now.
