GT Convertible Rants & Raves ? !
OK guys, I am thinking of a New GT Convertible and would like to know what I am in store for. Tell me the things you like the most and hate the worst about your car.
BTW I will be doing a Automatic on this one (Too much shifting in the C6).
Thanks Mike

CDC Light bar- looks cool, give it some custom styling - downside Increased Wind Noise
I HATE the really hot seats in the summertime
Roadkill and the NJ turnpike are also awful in a convertible (but you get that with any)
I LOVE the heads it turns, and the jealousy that comes along with it

I love my GT vert! Especially after it has been modded up to go fast!
This is just a weekend toy and when I bought it I was considering some other choices.
I could have bought a C6 vert or a Z06 but I reaaly dont like the style of the new Vette's as much as the C5. I had to have a convertible so the Mustang was the only car that worked for me.
I have not had a single rattle, shake or leak in this convertible, and I have owned 4 other Mustang verts. Oh and I have beaten Z06 (C-6) Vettes and those guys do not expect a GT to beat them so that factor is also lots of fun!
I have had no problems with the car and have a dealer installed KB. My Ford dealer is very mod friendly and they just did a Stage III tranny and custom stall speed install.
My only complaint is the wussy French made transmission (5r55S)did not hold up well to forced induction,hence I had to upgrade that.
My car can be driven daily (I don't though) and will be turning low 11 second times and best of all - the top goes down. What else could you ask for?

Can't really think of anything bad. The quality of the top is very good and I have no rattles, shakes or leaks. Turns many heads and with the top down the exhaust sounds awesome. You will not be disappointed.

The great thing about the convertible is that I give up nothing in creature comforts. With the top up it is quiet, warm,and dry. With the top down there is little buffeting. The car does have a little shake to it going over bumps that the hard top does not have. Oh, and did I say it hauls a$$ ?
