For me, the Convertible is the only way to go. How about your comments and opinions...

A vert would be cool, especially if it came with the "styling bar" like the '60s era GT500's had. :nice:

Convertible please.

topgun 3/22/05 07:42 AM

A vert with the bar is the way to go but at what price? I'd settle for the Hardtop, if that is not out of reach.

That would look awesome :nice: ..but I think I would have to go with the hardtop myself

blueovalkid 3/22/05 07:51 AM

Hardtop here. I dont want to add anymore weight to the car or compromise its structure in any way.

crispy23c 3/22/05 07:58 AM

I understand your point. I have owned a number of Mustang (&Shelby) convertibles, so I can't help myself... :D

Arboc 3/22/05 09:47 AM

hardtop - i already have a 96 Cobra vert

freebass55 3/22/05 09:48 AM

Hardtop, just because I'm not a vert fan.

crispy23c 3/22/05 10:27 AM

Looks like the split is about the same as it historically was, 70% HTop, 30% Vert... No surprises here...:rolleyes:

This is a no brainer. Verts are for wimps and women. Real men drive coupes.

:mad:

I am serious!

:jester:

Okay, chump. More air for me. Or...to rephrase....the Viper is a girl's car? The Ferrari (too numberous to mention)? The Vette? The A/C Cobra?
If it's built right, it don't matter, chump.

Go back to your cave, monkeyboy... :lol: :shame:

The Z06 Vette doesn't have a vert option.

crispy23c 3/23/05 09:42 AM

Okay, so the Vette Z06 doesn't have it (but I heard the new one might have it as an option--Targa roof). Can you discount all the other "serious" sportscars that have a droptop? No....

Can't race a convertible at most tracks without a real bar. No hoops

jwenger 3/25/05 12:55 PM

Had 2 verts. A Stang (avatar) and a Fairlane 500 both were fun and cool cars. Since I am getting older I think I would rather go with the HT this time around. :nice:

crazyhorse 3/25/05 02:40 PM

The no track issue is a big one for me. Also the flex in the body. I am sure it is better than the previous, but, 500lb/ft torque will still twist it a little. That heavier front end will probably be more noticeable in the vert also.

Why would it be more noticeable in a vert?

Shelby Roadster 3/25/05 02:54 PM

Read the motortrend article. It states that Ford doesn't have any current plans to build a ragtop for the 2007MY. Ugh..

I'm just guessing, but, more body flex in turns. Heavier front end = more flex.

cobrasvt777 3/25/05 03:35 PM

Hardtop. I melt in the rain. :D Okay and i dont want people seeing my fading hairline. :scratch:

Lalo 3/25/05 03:44 PM

Hardtop for me... it would be nice for a vert to be offered for those who want one, but I would much rather have the hardtop!

TrueBlueCajun 3/25/05 05:12 PM

Since I live in Florida and I already have a GT Convertible, it would only make sense to me to get a vert.

crispy23c 4/4/05 02:12 PM

Yeah, I live in New Hampshire, so I need a 'vert for the 90 nice days we have here! :D
Sounds like we now may get a GT500 convertible.... :nice:

John H 4/4/05 04:12 PM

For me, the only way to go is the hard top. I think the fastback style is a huge part of the style and attraction of the car. For me it is at least. :nice:

crispy23c 4/14/05 07:09 AM

I understand. BUT, to have all that horsepower in a balls-out convertible... :eek:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:
