Coupe vs Convertible?

[samson]

I love love LOVE my convertible. Even if you can only put the top down 3 or 4 months a year it is totally worth it. I just drove mine top down today in mid-90s weather and still loved it.

Would not have bought a Mustang if it wasn't available in Convertible. I do live in Southern California top down 95% of the time......

Same here. I live in the desert, so this time of year, it's mostly top-up time. But, driving down El Paseo on Christmas Day with the top down jamming on some tunes is fantastic. I can usually go topless from Oct to May.
My first Mustang was a 67 notch back, so I am used to the vert shape and not the coupe. And, I have been driving red convertible Mustangs since 2000. This is my 5th pony car.

That’s the difference between the automatic and the manual. The automatic is always faster.
The vert is some 340lbs heavier than the coupe, according to Ford, Imagine how fast the coupe is with the automatic especially the base as it’s lighter than all the other models.

I ordered mine with a 3.55 rear because of the extra weight.

I live in northwest Wisconsin. This is my 8th Mustang and 4th Convertible. Top goes down, and stays down most of the summer. Come winter, top goes up, car gets stored in a heated garage and is covered. F-150 then comes out to play.

Yeah, I lived in Laguna Niguel for 27 years, 4 miles from the beach. But, when I semi-retired, that real estate was too rich for my blood and Mom really needs the help. She lives out here. Once she's gone, I'm leaving CA all together. I need a state where the government is all F'd up.

I need to retire to a state where the weather's not all F'd up! Lol.

I toyed getting a droptop in 2011 when I bought it. However with my OCD and living in AZ the dust would drive me crazy. So I opted for the glass roof and never looked back. Its not any hotter which many would not believe. I only have the shade closed if the sun is at the right angle hitting my eyes. I couldn't sell it as it has too much work in setting it up the way I wanted. My 2024 is a coupe and would have been a glass top if they were available .

I pray one day Ford brings the glass roof back! I had it on my 2011 5.0 and LOVED it
