13.3 QM seemed a bit slow for a pro test driver.

Wow, so the convertible is less rigid than the coupe? It must be a flaw that's unique to Mustangs. Every other modern convertible is just as rigid as it's coupe counterpart.

There is always some flexability in the vert over the coup. Even with the extra metalwork and weight you can never get it just as rigid after you chop the roof.

Since when did the brembo package come with 18's??

And in sport mode the steering feel isn't that light...

brutal artical, and I doubt the writer even drove the car.

I know. I was ribbing the article's writer who seemed to think this is an issue unique to Mustangs, when everyone knows it's a problem with practically every convertible ever made, at least since the end of body-on-frame construction.

If you wanna talk politics, we have a place in off-topic for it. Otherwise, keep it out of the mustang specific chats.
