I'm pretty sure there used to be a place for articles but can't seem to find it.
Here's the latest from MT for those who don't have it yet, can't find it or are just too cheap to buy it. Enjoy!

Redfire is the most beautiful color ever invented. I have not seen one publicity picture of redfire that wasn't stunning. 90% of user posted redfire images are stunning, and having seen an 04 redfire cobra in the showroom, THAT was stunning in person. You can't beat those odds, and I'm a picky person about how things look in different types and venues. It is just the SH*T hands down. That dark pearly ferrari red can't be beat.

Whoops... I'm sorry if this is a re-post, my bad if that's the case. I did do a search but didn't see it.

I wanted to believe the 'vert has a fabric top like all of the car mags say it does, but apparently that is not true. It has a vinyl top like prior generation Stangs. How can these magazines get it wrong, or are these prototypes that actually have fabric tops?

I've been asking the same question about the top material for months. I was hoping for cloth (like on the last Cobra convert) but he 05 GT vert that I test drove last Saturday (and which I posted photos of) had the same old black vinyl top. I read somewhere that cloth was coming in '06 but it could be an absolute lie because no one has confirmed it.

Wow, didn't know they changed the wheels too. Can't really blame them though, those other wheels were
